1 1/8 cups Sourdough starter
1/2 cup Water
1 1/4 teaspoons Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
2 1/4 cups Bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons 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.
