After 4 hours, "feed" the starter 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup water. Stir until flour is well absorbed into the liquid. Replace in warm resting place.
After 4 another hours, repeat "feeding" process (feed twice in the first 8 hours)
Continue to feed starter mixture once a day for 7 days, removing 1 cup of the mixture (for use or discard) and replace with 1/2 cup each of warm water and flour.
