Steps:
- For the levain: Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, water and starter in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Cover and let sit at room temperature until bubbly and increased in volume by about 20 percent, about 8 hours.
- For the dough: Add the all-purpose flour, water and whole-wheat flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Weigh out 7 ounces of the levain (about 1 cup) and add to the mixer (discard any remaining levain). Mix on low until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Add the salt to the dough and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes; the dough should feel a bit sticky and wet but look smooth and very stretchy. Scrape the dough into a plastic or glass container about twice its size. Cover and let sit at room temperature until puffed, about 45 minutes.
- Put the dough on a floured work surface, flatten it gently, then fold in thirds like a business letter. Transfer it back to the container. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Repeat the folding process one more time, transfer back to the container, cover and let sit at room temperature for another 45 minutes. After the third 45-minute rest, the dough should feel soft and pillowy; when pressed with a finger, it should leave an indentation that begins to spring back.
- Gently scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide in half using a bench scraper. Shape each piece loosely into a round by gently tucking the edges under. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Drape 2 kitchen towels into 2 medium (8-inch) bowls and dust very generously with flour. Dust the top of the dough rounds very lightly with flour and flip over using a bench scraper. Flatten one piece of dough into a circle, then fold the left and right sides of the dough over the center. Keeping tension in the dough, begin folding down from the top edge in 3 segments, sealing the bottom edge with the last fold. Loosely cup the dough and, using your hands and the tension between the board and the dough, pull the bread very slowly towards yourself while creating a taut ball. Gently flip the dough ball over and into one of the prepared bowls. Cover loosely with another kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough. Place both in a warm place to rise until about 1 1/2 times their size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- About 20 minutes before baking, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven, put a 4-quart Dutch oven and lid on the rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. When preheated, carefully transfer the hot Dutch oven to a heatsafe surface with oven mitts (leave the lid in the oven). Flip one round of dough over into the Dutch oven. Using a sharp knife, scissors or bread lame, score the top of the bread in a cross or desired pattern. Return to the oven, immediately cover with the lid and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 425 degrees F, uncover and bake until dark brown, about 10 minutes more. Transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool completely. Return the empty Dutch oven to the oven, raise the temperature to 500 degrees F and let heat for 10 minutes before repeating the baking process with the second dough round.
SOURDOUGH STARTER

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, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 2:Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 3:Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 4:You should start to see some activity in the mixture now; there should be some bubbles forming and bubbling on top. Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 5:The mixture should be very active now and ready for making your levain (starter). If it's not bubbling, continue to feed it on a daily basis until it does. When it's ready, it should smell like yogurt.
- You now have a starter, which is the base to the bread. You'll need to look after it, but naming is optional! Keep it in the fridge (it will stay dormant) and 24 hrs before you want to use it, pour 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. If your starter is ready to use, a teaspoonful of the mixture should float in warm water.The starter can now be used to make white sourdough bread.
SOURDOUGH BREAD STARTER
This is your basic Sour Dough bread starter to be used over and over again. Look for the sour dough bread recipe to make use of this starter. There are two ways to make sour dough starter one without yeast where you feed the starter daily and this recipe where you just let the yeast do the work and let it sit for 3 or 4 days. Be sure that you clean the jar well before putting the saved starter back in it.

AMISH SOURDOUGH BREAD/STARTER
Found this recipe in my mother's recipe box. I don't remember her ever making it, but I have and it makes gorgeous bread! Starter takes 10 days to ferment, but after this you can make bread anytime you want! Traditionally, starter is given to friends and family in 1 cup increments, after the 10 days. You can also freeze 1 cup in zip lock bags for future use. I know it sounds like a lot of sweetener, but the yeast needs this sugar to feed itself, bread will not be sweet. Starter can be used for many other breads, such as doughnuts, cinnamon buns, etc. Follow recipe using 1 pkg yeast and 1 cup of starter. Prep time doesn't count 10 days to prepare starter. Nutrition Information is for total ingredients so won't be accurate.

Steps:
- For starter, dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey and 1 cup milk (lowfat or 2% milk is OK). This is day 1 of 10 day prep. Use a plastic or glass container.
- Leave starter on the counter covered, and stir daily.
- On the 5th day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey (or combination) and 1 cup milk. This is called 'feeding' the starter.
- Continue to stir daily. On the 10th day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey and 1 cup milk. Starter can now be divided and given away or frozen. I usually wait a day to bake after feeding starter.
- If you are not baking the next day, you can refrigerate starter, but bring to room temperature on baking day, or the night before, if frozen.
- If you receive a cup of starter as a gift, feed immediately and wait a day before baking, to give starter a chance to ferment, at room temperature.
- To bake: Place 1 cup of starter in bowl of mixer. Put mixer on slow speed using a dough hook, and add all ingredients. All ingredients should be room temperature.
- Add 2-1/4 tsps. yeast, 1 cup water, 1 cup milk, 2 tbls honey, 1/4 cup oil, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 eggs, 2 tsps. salt, approximately 6-7 cups white flour. You can add more whole wheat and less white, as preferred.
- Knead dough for 10 minute in mixer. Dough should be slightly sticky, but smooth and shiny and should mostly all be on the dough hook when done.
- Remove dough from mixer bowl to a floured board and knead by hand two minutes, shaping into a large ball. Oil inside of mixer bowl.
- Place dough back into bowl, swirl around in oil, and turn over so all sides are oiled. Press down, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Punch down and divide into two loaves. At this point, 1 ball can be made into 12-14 rolls. Divide into even balls, (if you have a scale, about 2-1/2 oz. each) place on greased cookie sheet, pressing down to a flat disc. Brush tops with beaten egg white mixed with 1 tbl water and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
- Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour, or until double in size.
- Preheat oven to 375° and bake rolls for 15-20 minutes, until browned.
- For loaf of bread flatten 1/2 of dough into a rectangle, to remove bubbles and roll up to a log. Roll two sides under and place log seam side down in greased loaf pan. Brush top with egg white and sprinkle with seeds. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove from pan and thump bottom of loaf. It should sound hollow when done.
- You can bake 1/2 of dough and shape other half into a loaf, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. When you are ready to bake, remove from wrap and place in greased loaf pan. Cover and allow to defrost and rise in a warm spot. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with seeds. Bake as usual.

Steps:
- Day 1:.
- You'll need two large, wide-mouth Weck jars or Mason jars (1 quart size) for this process. First step is to weigh each jar (without the lid) and write that number on the bottom or somewhere else handy. This will be useful when we go to do the feedings each day.
- In the morning, combine 100 grams whole wheat flour or whole grain rye flour with 125 grams warm water (80°F) in one of the jars, and mix with a small rubber spatula until well combined. Cover (if using a Weck jar, do not use rubber gaskets or clips; if using a Mason jar, cover with a new lid, but do not tighten) and keep in a warm spot. I like to place mine in the oven, turned off, with the light turned on to create a slightly warm environment. Let the mixture rest for 24 hours.
- Day 2:.
- In the morning, place the second jar (empty) on the scale and tare to 0 grams. Add 75 grams of the starter mixture from the day before and discard the rest. Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 115 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and keep in the same warm spot for another 24 hours. Clean out the first jar and set aside for the next day.
- Day 3:.
- In the morning, place a new, clean jar on the scale and tare to 0. Add 75 grams of the starter from the day before and discard the rest. Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 115 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and keep in the same warm spot for another 24 hours. Clean out the other jar and set aside for the next day.
- Day 4:.
- At this point you might start to see some activity. Don't be discouraged if you don't. Be patient and continue on schedule as directed. This is the first day you'll be doing two feedings-one in the morning and one in the evening (before bed).
- In the morning, place a clean jar on your scale and tare to 0. Add 75 grams of the starter from the day before and discard the rest. Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 115 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and let rest for 12 hours.
- After 12 hours (before bed), you can proceed with the second feeding of the day. At this point you can begin using only one jar. Discard all but 75 grams of starter. (This is where the jar weight you wrote down comes in handy. You'll do the math, 75 grams + jar weight = target weight). Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 115 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and let rest overnight.
- Day 5 and 6:.
- In the morning, discard all but 75 grams of starter. Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 115 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and let rest for 12 hours. Before bed, repeat with the same measurements and let rest overnight.
- Day 7 and onward:.
- On the morning of the 7th day, discard all but 50 grams of starter. Then add 50 grams whole wheat or rye flour, 50 grams all-purpose flour and 100 grams warm (80°F) water. Mix well with a small rubber spatula, cover and let rest for 12 hours. In the evening, repeat the same process as the morning with the same measurements.
- At this point, your starter should be rising and falling each day predictably. If you're at day 7 and you aren't seeing constant activity, continue feeding until you see the rising and falling each day. Progress may vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and water. At this point, you can start using your discard or your starter. Continue to feed it every day, twice a day, as long as you're planning to make bread. You can also place your starter in the fridge and feed it once a week, if you don't plan on making bread as often.
- Equipment to make things easy for yourself:.
- Two wide-mouth Weck jars or Mason jars (1-quart size) with lids.
- Small rubber spatula.
- Digital scale.
- Instant read thermometer.
