    I was at first very skeptical about trying this recipe as I wondered about the 1T of starter used in the leaven. I did not use the recommended rye bread but added more whole wheat flour; substituted honey for maple syrup. I mixed the leaven/water and flours by hand and needed to add 2 Tb of water. - 6/10/15
