Ratios like 1:1:1 or 1:5:5 tell you how much starter, water, and flour to use when feeding your starter.
1:1:1 (Starter:Water:Flour) is for fast fermentation and a quick boost before baking.
1:2:2 to 1:4:4 is perfect for regular feedings to keep your starter balanced.
1:5:5 to 1:10:10 is for longer feedings, less acidity, and a strong, bubbly starter for the long
haul.
