Remove a total of 4 cups from your starter (3 cups to give to friends and 1 cup for you). Add the following to the remainder of the mixture and stir well (you can add any other ingredients you desire at this point).

2/3 cup oil

This was always one of the boys' and their dad's favorite breads I would make. It is never ending but lots of fun to experiment with and to share.
