1. 1

   First, you need a good starter. I bought a sample from a woman in Jerusalem who makes whole wheat sourdough for her restaurant. I have also used the Russian starter from Sourdoughs International with good results. I have never heard anything positive about the Gold Rush starter and would not waste my time on it. I'll assume you know how to handle a starter. I keep mine in a plastic Rubbermaid container.

2. 2

   I use exclusively organic stone ground whole wheat flour for feeding my starter and baking. The evening before baking, I take my starter out of the frig and feed it with a couple Tbsp flour. The following morning, take 1/2 cup of starter, 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup water, mix thoroughly in a glass bowl and leave at room temperature during the day. In the evening, add this mixture to your ABM. The order of addition of ingredients depends on the machine.
