I was about to toss it when I figured I might as well make some bread with it. I'd made no-knead bread for fun in the past and it didn't have much flavor so why not try it with sourdough starter. I did and it came out much more flavorful but also much larger. I should have cut it in half.
The starter and the bread:

Makes sense. When you buy yeast it comes in dehydrated powder packets.
