I think you have to have a ';starter bag'; for this. My family has tried %26amp; tried to figure out a way to just start it off without a starter, but it never turns out right. Perhaps find a friend or relative that's already making the bread. When making thier own batter, it makes enough for other bags to hand on to other people. Hope this helps???
