Method
- Step 1Mix all the ingredients in a pot, leaving room for the starter to rise again by half.
- Step 2Cover with a breathable lid and leave to ferment at an ambient temperature of 20-23C for 8-10h.
- Step 3Ideally use straight away to make a leaven. If that’s not possible, refrigerate and use for leaven within 8hours.
- Step 4Refrigerate the remainder in a covered pot until next needed.
- Step 5Refresh at least twice a week at minimum and 8-12hours before you make a leaven.
