I think the recipe for the starter must be incorrect. If you mix 1cup of any type flour with 1/2 cup water it is far too thick and looks nothing at all like the picture of the starter. I checked other KAF recipes for breads starting with a soaker and they start with 1/2 cup flour to 1 cup water, so I think the proportions were reversed. I started the starter tonight and it 'seems' right with 1/2 cup flour and 1cup water and1/8 tsp yeast. I can adjust the amount of flour and water tomorrow, but I'm really wondering if that 1/8 tsp yeast will be sufficient. Worried a bit, cause all those raisins and currants are a bit expensive and I'd hate to have to bin the final result.
