If I make whole breads or breads with high hydration rate and long fermentation time I like to ue my sourdough starter when it's young because we don't like a tangy flavour on the bread. When I make sweet breads (like panettone, brioche, cozonac...) I use solid starter (store in water at 50-60% hydration) and feed it 2 or 3 times (every 3 hours at 30 ºC) before using it.

Feeding ingredients

Take it out from the fridge (I usually make bread on the weekend when I don't have to go to work and my schedule is more flexible) and feed them. It depends on the bread I want to prepare I use solid or liquid starter. If I use liquid starter,(for example 50 grams) I normally feed it with 50 grams of flour + 50 grams of water (or sometimes fruit fermented water) and let i rest until it doubles.

For whole breads or breads with high hydration rate, I use solid starter. I take for example 50 grams ofmy starter and feed it with 50 grams of flour + 25 grams of water andlet it rest until it doubles
