0: Mix together in a GLASS or PLASTIC BOWL the above ingredients
1: Do not use metal utensils
2: Cover the bowl with a tight fitting lid and allow to sit in a warm, draft-free location for 4 to 7 days, gently stirring once a day
3: You may use your starter after 4 days
4: To use your starter, simply remove the amount called for in the recipe and add to the other ingredients
5: Replace the amount removed with equal amounts of water/milk and bread/unbleached all purpose flour
6: I always used bread flour
7: After feeding your starter, leave on counter for 24 hours
8: At the end of that period you may refrigerate your starter
9: You must refeed at least once every 7 days, so I use my starter once a week
10: If you do not plan to use it, then take one cup out and throw away and feed
11: If you will be away on vacation you may freeze your starter, thaw it in the refrigerator upon your return
12: As soon as it is thawed, remove at least one cup and feed as above
13: I alternate feedings, one week with milk, the next with water
