A friend gave me a starter that should be fed every 3 to 5 days. It uses sugar,potato flakes,and warm water. I have used it with KA bread flour for months and have great results. Did I miss something in the info. about the different Sourdough recipes; there is no sugar in the starter or in making Nutty-Fruity Sourdough. No sugar is good. Please explain. I should be able to use "My" starter with your recipes right??? I'm going to give a try. Thanks, EmilyYou are referring to an "Amish" type starter which tends to be sweeter, and is not a sourdough starter. Our "sourdough" recipes are written for a true sourdough starter which contains sourdough culture, flour, and water. There is no sugar added in a true sourdough starter. Betsy@KAF
