    Yesterday I paid $25 for a course. Now I can’t seem to find it. Where would it be? I am a total beginner. I have had success at making a starter or three actually, but I do not know where to go from there. Which step do I need to take next toward actually making a loaf of sourdough bread? Or which one of your videos would be the one to follow next? Thanks
