About

Buy whole-wheat flour where the stock turns over often—a popular health-foods store perhaps—so the flour is fresh. Because whole-wheat flour contains the germ, which is oily it turns rancid quickly.

Method

Review the steps for bread making before beginning. Combine both flours, the warm water, and the starter in a bowl if you are mixing the dough by hand or in the mixing bowl if you are using a stand mixer.

To mix and knead by hand

Mix the ingredients until the dough comes together. Knead for 7 minutes and let rest,
