Let sit for 10 minutes in a warm place until it\u2019s frothy. Add 1 C. (120 grams) all-purpose flour and \u00bc C. (28 grams) whole wheat flour and mix well with a whisk or fork. Make sure there\u2019s no lumps or dry pockets of flour. Move the mixture over to a small, clean bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let sit for 24 hours in a warm place. After 1 day it should be very bubbly and have a slight sour smell, which means it\u2019s ready to use. Now it\u2019s time to get baking. (Once it\u2019s made, I use it all up, and just make a fresh batch next time I want to bake. You could probably keep it going with regular feedings, if you wanted.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lazy Sourdough Starter &nbsp; 1\u00bd C.
