This bread is amazing and SOOOO moist. It's a great gift for neighbors, completed or just as the starter in a ziploc bag with instructions for each day.*For this bread you do not want to use anything metal to mix/bake it in. You don't want to refrigerate the dough and if air gets in the bag, just open it to let the air out and promptly close it back up.
