--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  c             Sourdough starter
   3      c             Water -- lukewarm
   2      tb            Sugar
   1      tb            Salt
   5      c             Flour
     1/4  c             Butter -- melted
   1 1/2  c             Whole wheat flour
                        Corn meal
                        Butter

Remove 1-1/2 cup starter (replenish the rest before returning to the
fridge.) Add water, sugar, salt, and 2-1/2 cups white flour, mix.
Let stand in a warm place for 12 to 18 hours. Stir down and add
butter, whole wheat flour, and enough white flour to make a stiff
bread dough. Knead for 10 minutes. Place in a clean buttered bowl,
cover, and let rise 2 hours. Punch down and shape into 2 round
loaves. Place on oiled baking sheet, sprinkled with corn meal. Let
rise 1-1/2 hours. Bake 40 to 50 minutes at 400°F until bread sounds
hollow when tapped.
