Steps:
- In a covered 4-qt. glass or ceramic container, mix flour and yeast. Gradually stir in warm water until smooth. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel; let stand in a warm place 2-4 days or until mixture is bubbly and sour smelling and a clear liquid has formed on top. (Starter may darken, but if starter turns another color or develops an offensive odor or mold, discard it and start over.) , Cover tightly and refrigerate starter until ready to use. Use and replenish starter, or nourish it, once every 1-2 weeks.
To use and replenish starter:
Stir to blend in any liquid on top. Remove amount of starter needed; bring to room temperature before using. For each 1/2 cup starter removed, add 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup warm water to the remaining starter and stir until smooth. Cover loosely and let stand in a warm place 1-2 days or until light and bubbly. Stir; cover tightly and refrigerate.
To nourish starter:
Remove half of the starter. Stir in equal parts of flour and warm water; cover loosely and let stand in a warm place 1-2 days or until light and bubbly. Stir; cover tightly and refrigerate.

Steps:
- 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!
