Converting white starter to rye
Hello,
For some reason I though this is covered in Hamelman's Bread, but can't find it... What steps should I take when converting portion of my white 100% starter to rye? Is it a simple matter of just feeding it for a couple of days with whole rye flour or should I start feeding it with a mix of white and rye and increase proportion of rye to white with every feed?
also, is it safe to assume that 2-3 days 2x per day feelings would be enough to call it a rye starter and use it to make rye bread or should I do it for a longer period of time?
Thank You!
