1 cup flour at 4.25 ounces per cup Pumpernickel grind, rye flour
or 5.50 ounces whole wheat or bread flour
3/4 cup or 6 ounces of water

Mix the flour and water in a bowl until they form a stiff ball. The ball will be very stiff so make sure all of the flour is hydrated. Press the dough into the glass jar. Mark on the jar with the sharpie the current level of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap, leave it on the counter, and talk to it gently for 24 hours. It will not rise much during this time, if any at all.
