Since when is 4 ounces equal to 1 cup? Otherwise and excellent process. The rye flour is critical. With out it,, the flavors are not the same.
Hi. Measurement by Volume and Weight are not the same. Here is the conversion chart. how you measure can make a difference in weight as well. Here is how we measure flour in all of our recipes. Frank @ KAF.Jack, people are often confused by weight. A cup of water weighs 8 ounces; but a cup of flour only weighs about 4 ounces. So long as you remember to feed your starter wequal amounts flour and water BY WEIGHT, you can't go wrong. And, thanks for your feedback about rye flour in the starter. Sourdough, like all living creatures, can take many different shapes and characters. No right, no wrong; as always, we celebrate diversity! :) PJH
