Sourdough bread question
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 10:00 pm
I fancy trying to make some sourdough bread but im unsure how to go about it..
I know to make a starter i'm basically adding equal parts of flour and water into a jar...leaving it a day or so, tipping half of it out and then adding more flour/water and continuing until it starts foaming/frothing up.
Is this the general idea?
My main question is, what do i do with it after that? how much starter do i need to use per x amount of grams of flour/water to make a dough?
I found this recipe so was going to use this, but wanted to invite any other suggestions!

Most other recipes i've found are american and weighed in "cups" etc
Any help would be appreciated.
