My go to recipe has become:
• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1 cup bread flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups bread flour
• Honey (maybe 2 tsp)
1 tsp salt

Combine the starter, 1 c flour, honey, and water into a loose sponge, pour the 2 c of flour on top as a blanket. Let it sit for few hours or overnight til the starter bubbles through. Mix, add the salt, knead, and allow to rise. Form into a loaf ( I have been using a round banetton), bake when risen at 450°F for 30 minutes in a preheated oven. Has excellent keeping qualities. I used to scale all of this and then decided to see if it would work w volume measurements. I sometimes need to add a tbsp of water while mixing but otherwise it works well.
