Sourdough  4 loaves     
1 lb 50/50 sourdough starter
3 lb 6 oz flour
4  c water (or more -- use enough to completely hydrate all the other ingredients)
3 T salt, non iodized
1.5 T dry yeast
Stir together well to fully hydrate (no kneading, just mix in bowl use hands as necessary); rest at room
temp 2 hrs covered w/ plastic wrap. 

Place in fridge up to 2 weeks - no  maintenance necessary (I am not kidding!). 

Day of bake: 
Cut 1 Lb 14 oz of dough
Shape into ball (1 min, no knead)
Proof in baskets 2 hours, covered
Place on wooden peel, slash with sharp blade (also called docking)
Bake in steam oven 450 degrees  for ~ 40-45  min
