I am still making bread according to the instructions at

Dick, I am confused. I read the instructions at the url link for your sour
dough bread. I am a little puzzled about the time involved. I thought that
sourdough had to be made with a sour dough starter (prepared over days) but
it seems your instructions are for the sourdough starter actually being for
a time period of 10 hours, 4 hours, 4 hours, and then going on to making the
bread. As your sourdough starter recipe fermentation is only approx 18
hours, I thought this is the time period for a polish, biga, whatever, not
sourdough. Could you enlighten me about the recipe; perhaps I am missing
the addition of the "older starter"?

Thanks so much,
Dee
