I've heard that you can make a homemade sourdough starter, is this true?

Yes, it is possible to make your own sourdough starter. You can do this by mixing equal parts of warm water and all-purpose flour in a bowl or jar. Then let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 24 hours, stirring occasionally. After the first 24 hours, add equal parts of new flour and water to the mixture and stir until everything is blended together. Continue adding equal parts of flour and water each day and stir until the consistency resembles pancake batter. Once the starter has developed a bubbly texture, it is ready to use.
