Basic Sourdough Starter

Procedure

1. Combine the water and rye flour and mix together. Place in a nonreactive container (such as stainless steel or plastic) and cover. Let stand at room temperature until the mixture becomes bubbly and fermented and has a noticeable fermented aroma. This should take 2 or 3 days.
2. Mix together the ingredients in Stage 2 to make a stiff dough. Cove
