I am confused - does this "Beginning with 4 ounces of dormant starter, I add 4 ounces each King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (scant cup) and lukewarm water (1/2 cup), stirring to combine..." replace this: "1 cup sourdough starter, fed or unfed; fed will give you a more vigorous rise" thanks! Sorry for the confusion, Ann. No, it's not a replacement. The first sentence you quote above is directions for feeding your sourdough starter before using it, if that's the route you're going to take. Once it's fed, you scoop out 1 cup, which is the "1 cup sourdough starter, fed or unfed; fed will give you a more vigorous rise." Bottom line: You can feed your starter (as directed in first the quote above); or you can use it unfed. I hope I've cleared things up! PJH
