What I've learned:
Whenever I want to use my sourdough, I start by whisking together water with either just flour or flour and skim milk powder. Then I stir in the sourdough starter, cover with a cloth and let it sit out for a few hours or overnight.
Then, before adding any other ingredients I put a cup or two back into a Mason jar in the fridge.
For bread, I mix in salt, sometimes some sugar or molasses, and whole wheat or white flour to make a stiff dough. I knead it and leave in an oiled bowl to raise. Then I shape it and put it into greased pans. After raising I put the loaves into a *cold* oven then turn the oven to 350F and bake until they sound hollow when thumped.
