starter question
I have a small bit of no yeast starter that was given to me but the instructions are rather cryptic. Perhaps someone can translate. It's a rye & ww starter as I remember, and it's only a couple of ounces.
The note attached says:
100% white
60% water
20% Sourdough
12 hours
100% 1/2 ww, 1/2 white x .0022= weight
70% water
10% SD
total wt is 400/180=.022
the 2nd part says " take total wt of starter you want (IE 400g) divide by percentage (IE 180) then multiply by each % for wt."
some of which makes sense, but how do I use the little starter "sample" I have?
