1 1/8 c Sourdough starter
1/2 c Water
1 1/4 ts Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
2 1/4 c Bread flour
1 1/2 ts Yeast

This is for the medium sized loaf which, depending on
how active my starter is at the moment, will rise to
the top of my Hitachi B101.

If I want an extra sour loaf, I will use the starter
two or three days after feeding. This produces a
shorter loaf with a heavier texture.

For a light and fluffy loaf, I feed the starter first,
then let it sit on the counter for 8 to 10 hours
before using. I make sure it is very foamy when I put
it in the B/M.
