Prepare To Meet Your Bakerina: Let's get cultural

"Day one: Combine 227 grams whole rye (or pumpernickel) flour and 227 grams warm water (90F). Mix, cover and let ferment for 24 hours.

Day two and three: Measure 125 grams of mix; discard the rest. Add 125 grams of whole rye flour and 125 grams of warm water. Mix, cover and let ferment. Feed this starter once a day for these two days, unless it becomes so vigorous so quickly that you think it can support a second feeding (unlikely at this stage, but possible)."
