After two days, the starter will significantly increase in volume and develop a characteristic smell. Remove half of the mixture (120 grams). Add another 30 grams of wheat flour and 30 grams of rye flour, then pour in 60 grams of water. Mix well and leave for another day in a cool place.

On the fourth day, repeat the procedure. On the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, the starter will become "active." Bubbles will appear on the surface, and a characteristic tangy smell, somewhat resembling kefir, should develop. Now you can start baking bread!
