@Doughnutchef It's just a prestarter. You're trying to develop your populations in a starter. Any flour will work, and I don't know where he's getting his info from. You don't need sugar at all. There's plenty of assimilable sugar in flour. Also, don't use Red Star yeast. For decades it's been known to be hugely infected, if there is any yeast at all. Go with a better yeast.

I always thought the free bacteria in a given location was ultimately responsible for shaping the actual flavor profile of a yeast dough ie...san francisco sourdough.But i guess using a bread broth would augment those flavors somewhat but in a faster way.
