Can a sourdough starter be kept alive if you live in a dry climate?
I moved from Monterey CA to Bullhead City AZ, a very arid climate. I brought my starter with me. The biggest change I had to make was using cling wrap and a rubber band around the jar. I didn’t do that in the beginning and I always had a dry skin across the top. This fixed my issue. My bread is just as great as before. I did also need to hydrate the dough a bit more. Otherwise it has been a success for me.
