The one that was super sour was only a cup per 2 loaves (different recipe) this one is just right. Go figure... This one also doesn't have a sponge though, so the 2 cups is ALL that is sour and it's not super sour since it was just freshly fed (I fed it about 2 hours prior and it had bubbled and grown a TON before I used it).
This is a good recipe for not having any leftover starter though... Last time I used my starter I fed it, removed a cup, and had probably around a cup and a half that I put in the fridge, then I fed THAT without disposing of anything and gave it a cup each of flour and water and after I removed the 2 cups for the recipe I only put about half a cup or so back in the fridge. So, next time I make this recipe I may have to feed it twice before that without discarding to get it bulked up enough.
YUMMY!
