Brilliant tutorial thank you
My pleasure Janet – glad it was useful.
How do you make your culture and how long does it take before you can use it to make the bread?

It takes roughly 7-10 days to get a lively starter and I’d go with wholemeal instead of rye flour.

Hope it goes well…barring the extensive clean-up, you won’t regret it!
