4On the third day, uncover and “feed” starter with 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup water.

5Cover and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.

6Starter is now ready to use in any recipe. Simply remove amount called for and “feed” as before with 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup water.

7Store starter, covered loosely with a lid, for up to 1 week before feeding again.

8For longer keeping, cover and freeze starter for up to 3 months.
