1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,310
With the starter mix, I like to keep about 50 percent all purpose flour, 50 percent whole wheat flour,

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:07,560
and I do like to do it by weights.

3
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:13,290
The problem with doing things by volume measurements, like with a measuring cup, is that the flour

4
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:16,980
can compact sometimes or be more fluffy sometimes.

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:21,360
You never get a real accurate reading, whereas when you do it with a scale, you know that you're always

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,390
getting an accurate reading.

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,410
So I'll just go ahead and put in.

8
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:33,760
Know about whatever I think might fit in.

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,100
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

10
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:41,430
flour.

11
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:45,880
And we're just doing a 50 50 mix.

12
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:53,950
OK, put in a little bit too much, but again, it doesn't have to be exact, so what I'm going to do

13
00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:56,380
is I'll go ahead and I'll put a cover on.

14
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:02,060
And then I'll just go ahead and give it a little bit of a mix.

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,190
So I'm using plastic in the video, but normally I use glass containers and I just found that the glass

16
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:11,530
containers on video tend to make a little bit too much noise.

17
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:15,430
But you can use any sort of container that you have around the house so you don't have to go out and

18
00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:19,930
spend a huge amount of money on new stainless steel equipment or nice jars.

19
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:21,220
You could just use what you have.

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,430
The only thing that you will need is some sort of crockpot to cook in if you really want to get that

21
00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:31,480
nice, high quality bread look and that rise.

22
00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:32,830
But we'll do that.

23
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:34,690
We'll talk about that a little bit later.

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,730
And that's why you need to do in order to have your 50 50 percent mixture of whole wheat flour and all

25
00:01:39,730 --> 00:01:41,200
purpose fire for feeding your starter.
