"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
After making initial starter, put in refrigerator for 3-5 days. Store starter in in a container and slit holes in the top of the cover. This mixture will not rise but will only bubble.

Feed every 3 - 5 days. After feeding, let it set out of the refrigerator all day or night. Wait until you have 4 cups of starter before beginning to make bread. Always keep at least 3 cups of starter in the refrigerator.

In a large bowl make a stiff batter with the ingredients listed for making bread.
Grease another bowl. Put dough in and turn over to put oiled side up.
Leave overnight to rise, do not refrigerate.
Next morning, punch dough down. Knead a little. Divide into 3 parts. Knead each part 8 -10 times. Put into greased loaf pans and brush with oil. Cover with greased wax paper and allow to rise in a warm place over night.

Bake for 30-45 minutes in a 325º oven. Remove and brush tops with butter.
Place on rack to cool.
