If a recipe call for say, 1 cup of starter, will the raising power varies 
from one starter to another? If so, there may be a need to varies the 
raising time by judgement. Then, does it means that sourdough bread cannot 
be prepared in ABM because it is all automatic? I have no experience of 
making sourdough bread. I am just playing around with flour and water 
hoping to come up with a "starter" but I am very skeptical whether it can 
really raise my bread, because it looks very weak with a little bubbles 
only. Has anyone successfully create a starter from just Flour and water? 
Wish to hear some comment.
