Steps:
- Day 1: To begin your starter, mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water in a jar or, better still, a plastic container. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, covered with a tea towel, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 2: Mix 25g flour with 25g tepid water and stir into yesterday’s mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, covered with a tea towel, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 3: Today you might see a few small bubbles forming and the mixture should smell grassy and a little acidic. Mix 25g flour with 25g tepid water and stir into yesterday’s mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, covered with a tea towel, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 4: More bubbles should have appeared today and the mixture should smell of yeasty beer. Mix 25g flour with 25g tepid water and stir into yesterday’s mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, covered with a tea towel, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 5: Fermentation should have set in now and the mixture might be ready to use. If a teaspoon of the starter floats in warm water, it’s ready. If not, mix 25g flour with 25g tepid water and stir into yesterday’s mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave covered, with a tea towel, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 6: The mix should be really bubbly and be giving off a strong smell of alcohol. Test in the same way as yesterday. If it’s not ready, continue mixing 25g flour with 25g tepid water into the mixture daily until it becomes active. If your jar is becoming full, spoon half the mix out of the jar and continue. You now have rye starter, which is a malty flavoured base to sourdough bread. Keep it in the fridge (it will stay dormant) and 12 hrs before you want to use it, spoon half of it off and feed it with 100g flour and 100g water. Leave it at room temperature and it should become active again. The longer the starter has been dormant, the more times it will need to be refreshed – the process of pouring off half the starter and replacing it with new flour and water – to reactivate. Use the starter to make rye sourdough bread.

Steps:
- Make a brine by dissolving 5 tablespoons sea salt in 2 quarts of chlorine-free water. (Note: this recipe will possibly make more than what is needed, you may save extra brine to be used in future ferments.)
- In a half-gallon jar add a couple of the tannin-containing leaves, a few cloves of garlic, the heads of dill, and ⅓ of the spices.
- Pack half of the cucumbers tightly on top of the spices. (The longest ones work best at the bottom.)
- Repeat a layer of leaves, garlic, and spices. Add another tightly packed layer of cucumbers and top them off with more garlic and spices.
- Pour the brine over the pickles, leaving 1-2 inches of headspace. Place another tannin-containing leaf on top of the pickles as a cover between the pickles and the surface of the brine. Use a fermentation weight to keep the pickles under the liquid, if necessary. Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.
- Ferment at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure. The brine should turn cloudy and bubbly, and the pickles should taste sour when done.
- Eat right away, or store in a refrigerator or root cellar for months and enjoy them all winter long.

- Making the starter:In a clean jar, weigh out 50 grams each of whole wheat flour and water. Mix well. Put a rubber band around the jar at the height of the starter to give a visual indication when the starter has risen. Cover the jar loosely with a glass or plastic lid, or a clean napkin secured with a rubber band.Set the jar aside in a warm spot out of direct sunlight for 24–48 hours.First feeding:Check the starter after 24 hours. If there is no change except for a bit of grayness on top, wait another 24 hours. Once you see any activity (bubbles and/or increase in volume), it's time to feed the starter!Mix together a 50/50 blend of whole wheat and organic all-purpose flour. This will be what you feed your starter with!Discard half of the starter. Add 50 grams each of the flour mix and water. Stir very well, cover loosely, adjust the rubber band if needed, and set aside as before.Second feeding:After 12–24 hours, you should see some activity in your starter (bubbles and increase in volume). Discard all but 50 grams of the starter. Add 50 grams each of the flour mix and water. Mix very well, cover loosely, adjust the rubber band if needed, and set aside as before.Subsequent feedings:Feed exactly the same way as the second feeding.Continue feeding your starter every 12–24 hours until it doubles in volume every 8–12 hours, has a pleasant, yeasty smell, and passes the float test (see note). Once it passes the float test, your starter is ready to be baked with!The whole process of getting your starter established can take anywhere from 5–10 days. Be patient and use your eyes, nose, and the float test to determine if it's ready.You can switch to feeding the starter organic unbleached all-purpose flour if you like. Continue feeding your starter once a day for a total of 2 weeks. Keeping your starter in the refrigerator:At this point you can start storing your starter in the refrigerator: Feed your starter one last time, let it sit at room temperature for about half an hour, then place it in the refrigerator. Feed your starter at least once a week: Take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. Discard all but 50 grams of the starter, and feed with 50 grams each of flour and water (or however much you need for your recipe). You can either let the starter sit until it doubles and passes the float test (to use in a recipe), or just let it sit for half an hour and stick it back in the fridge.Keeping your starter at room temperature:You can store your starter at room temperature indefinitely if you make sure to feed it almost every day. A missed day here and there won't hurt an established starter, but if you starve it too long, it will die.Note: For the float test, drop a small amount of starter into a glass of room-temperature water. If it floats, the starter passed the test! If it sinks, you either need to let the starter sit longer to develop more bubbles, or feed it again and let it sit until it passes the float test (usually 6–12 hours).

- The night before you want to bake, make the levain starter. Pour 50ml of tepid water into a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers to gently stir in the mature sourdough starter until fully dissolved, then repeat with the flour until smooth and combined.
- Leave, covered, in a warm place for at least 8 hours – it’s ready when lots of bubbles appear on the surface and the dough has a milky-sweet aroma.
- The next day, to make the final dough, pour 325ml of tepid water into a large mixing bowl and add 100g of the levain, which should float (the remaining levain can be fed and used as a new sourdough starter, or gifted to a friend). Use your fingers to gently stir it into the water until fully dissolved, then repeat with both flours. Cover with a damp cloth and rest in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Now add the salt and 25ml of tepid water, scrunching them into the dough until fully combined. Set aside, covered, in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Wet your hand slightly and give the dough four folds in the bowl, one at each ‘corner’. This is one turn. Repeat this process another three times at 30-minute intervals, turning the dough four times in total across 2 hours. After the last turn, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for another 2 hours.
- To shape the loaf, tip the dough onto a clean surface and gently dust the top with a handful of semolina flour. Roughly shape into a round, being careful to keep as much air in the dough as possible. Rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Dust a basket or cane banneton with semolina flour (or you can simply use a medium bowl lined with a clean, floured tea towel). Lightly flour the dough again and flip it over, so the flour side is on the worktop. Set the dough in front of you and gently shape into a round. Turn the dough over, then place it in your floured basket, banneton or tea towel-lined bowl.
- Cover the dough with a shower cap (or oiled cling film) and allow to rest for 1 to 2 hours, or until increased in size by a quarter and looking bubbly. Transfer your dough, in its basket or bowl, to the fridge to rise for another 12 to 16 hours, or until bubbly and risen by another quarter.
- Place a heavy lidded casserole pot on the bottom shelf of the oven, then preheat to full whack (240ºC/464ºF/gas 9).
- Bring your loaf out of the fridge and scatter semolina over the top. Working carefully, remove the hot pot from the oven, take off the lid and gently tip your dough out into the pot, so now the pattern should be the right way up. Score it with a sharp knife, holding it at a 40 degree angle to the surface of the dough for the best slashes, then carefully cover and return to the oven.
- Reduce the temperature to 230ºC/446ºF/gas 8 and bake for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and bake for a final 20 minutes, or until a malted golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

- In a wide-mouth jar, stir together all ingredients until well combined. Cover and keep jar in a warm part of your kitchen, ideally about 78°, away from direct sunlight. Every day at roughly the same time, discard most of the starter mixture and keep only 30 grams (about 2 tablespoons), then feed the starter with equal amounts of flours and water. Continue discarding and feeding the starter every day until you see activity: there should be bubbles visible, the starter will appear more airy, and the smell will turn sweet, yeasty, and slightly acidic. This process will take 5 to 7 days. On warmer days, the starter might require two feedings per day. Once your starter is active, it usually peaks and becomes “ripe” for use about 6 to 8 hours after a feeding. To determine ripeness, it should look puffy, bubbly, active, and pass the float test: fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and drop a scant tablespoon of starter in. If it floats, you are good to go!
