With the starter mix, I like to keep about 50 percent all purpose flour, 50 percent whole wheat flour,
and I do like to do it by weights.
The problem with doing things by volume measurements, like with a measuring cup, is that the flour
can compact sometimes or be more fluffy sometimes.
You never get a real accurate reading, whereas when you do it with a scale, you know that you're always
getting an accurate reading.
So I'll just go ahead and put in.
Know about whatever I think might fit in.
Let's just say it's 80, so now I'm going to do is I'm going to put in about 80 grams of all purpose
flour.
And we're just doing a 50 50 mix.
OK, put in a little bit too much, but again, it doesn't have to be exact, so what I'm going to do
is I'll go ahead and I'll put a cover on.
And then I'll just go ahead and give it a little bit of a mix.
So I'm using plastic in the video, but normally I use glass containers and I just found that the glass
containers on video tend to make a little bit too much noise.
But you can use any sort of container that you have around the house so you don't have to go out and
spend a huge amount of money on new stainless steel equipment or nice jars.
You could just use what you have.
The only thing that you will need is some sort of crockpot to cook in if you really want to get that
nice, high quality bread look and that rise.
But we'll do that.
We'll talk about that a little bit later.
And that's why you need to do in order to have your 50 50 percent mixture of whole wheat flour and all
purpose fire for feeding your starter.
