  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature. You may use after 1 day at room temperature. Add 1 cup warm water, 1 cup bread flour, and 1/2 cup rye flour every other day. Discard remaining Sour Starter if you don't intend to use it after a few days.
