No you don't Doll. Use Dried yeast instead. Scant 1/4 tsp of yeast in the biga and 1 tsp of dried yeast in the main dough when you add your biga and other ingredients to it; this instead of the starter. Works just as well. In fact, the Italians usually do this bread with yeast. I made a starter so I am using that. Good bread making. :)X
You are very welcome. Just made the Ciabatta. Tastes wonderful but is not really Ciabatta. Would have made better focaccia! Bit too much olive oil added. Will post tomorrow. :)X
