flour .  The less pre-fermented flour the longer the bread will take to ferment and proof.  How much starter you use fpr the levain depends on the kind of starter you have.  I have No Muss No Fuss starter so I use between 5-10 g of stiff rye starter.  I also like the levain to be 100% hydration

Did you really mean 10% hydration?
