Sourdough Starter and Bread

Mix well and add to starter. Mix slightly. Let stand on counter out of refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. Feed first starter 2 times before making bread. This does not rise - only bubbles. Take out 1 cup starter (to make bread) and return remaining starter to refrigerator. Keep in refrigerator 3 to 5 days; feed again. If not making bread, throw out 1 cup starter, but it must be fed after 5 days.
