Hello! Received my sourdough starter (and crock) from KAF today & have some questions: 1) The insert refers to a glass or ceramic bowl... can the KAF crock be used for all steps of feeding/storing the starter, or does it come in at a specific step? 2) I like to use my bread machine to knead my dough... My dough cycle kneads for about 30 minutes, and then rises for about another 50 minutes or so. For the sourdough recipes included on the insert, should I remove the dough immediately after the kneading, and follow all rises, or consider the machine rise as the 'first rise'? Thanks!
