Lively and bullet proof. Can survive months in the fridge, freezing/thawing and dehydration/rehydration. Works well at higher and lower hydrations. Has a subtle sourness that can be adjusted with a longer ferment.

Recipe
Starting ingredients
- 60g Water
- 60g All purpose flour
Feeding ingredients
1
Roughly stir together water, flour, and original starter. Lumps and uneven consistency is fine. Leave at room temperature. Feed 1-2 times a day at room temp or whenever you remember in the fridge. I went 3 months without feeding and it revived in several feedings. Starter also tolerates freezing/thawing and dehydrating well
Working method

Measure equal parts water (filtered or tap) and all purpose flour by weight

2
