- 175g Whole wheat flour
- _none Process
Feeding ingredients
1
I use two glass containers. One for bread starter, at feeding 444 grams (need 400 for bread, evaporation and metabolism consume 25-30,grams), and one for bagels and the next starter 370 grams (250g for bagels and 120, or what ever is left after bagels, for next starter)
Working method
1
Starter from week before
120g Starter
2
Dechlorinated water , whisk starter with water
350g Water
3
Half of flour
175g Dark rye flour
4
Second half of flour, stir with silicone spatula until thoroughly mixed. Weigh into the two jars. Let sit on counter until about 1 cm rise in height. Put jars into refrigerator ~2.7C.
175g Whole wheat flour

One week later, remove from refrigerator, let sit on counter until active enough that a teaspoon of starter floats on the surface of a cup of water. Use to make bread from one jar & bagels from the other. Remaining starter is the basis for mixing the next batch of starter.
