How To make Donna German's Sourdough Starter
Ingredients
2
cup
water, or milk, lukewarm
2
cup
bread, or unbleached all purpose flour
2 1/2
teaspoon
yeast
Directions:
Mix together in a glass or plastic bowl the above ingredients. Do not use metal utensils. Cover the bowl with a tight fitting lid and allow to sit in a warm, draft-free location for 4 to 7 days, gently stirring once a day.
You may use your starter after 4 days.
To use your starter, simply remove the amount called for in the recipe and add to the other ingredients. Replace the amount removed with equal amounts of water/milk and bread/unbleached all purpose flour.
After feeding your starter, leave on counter for 24 hours. At the end of that period you may refrigerate your starter. You must refeed at least once every 7 days. If you do not plan to use it, then take one cup out and throw away and feed.
If you will be away on vacation you may freeze your starter, thaw it in the refrigerator upon your return. As soon as it is thawed, remove at least one cup and feed as above.
Alternate feedings, one week with milk, the next with water.

How to make EASY no-nonsense EINKORN Bread | Beginner Friendly Recipe
Einkorn is an ancient type of wheat. Think of it as the grandfather of the grains we use to make wheat flour today. The name einkorn translated from German means ‘one grain’, hinting at its purity.
Modern wheat has been hybridized and cross-bred to give it certain characteristics. For one it has a thinner shell and is easier and more cost effective to process. Secondly, it has far stronger gluten than einkorn which is what we all love when making our breads.
But all that development has had some negative effects. While stronger gluten can be beneficial to the process of breadmaking, it can at the same time be detrimental to our gut health. Modern wheat has a lesser nutritional value than einkorn too.

Random info from wikipedia:
Friendship Bread is a type of bread or cake made from a sourdough starter that is often shared in a manner similar to a chain letter. The starter is a substitute for baking yeast and can be used to make many kinds of yeast-based breads, shared with friends, or frozen for future use. The sweet, cake-like Amish Cinnamon Bread is a common bread that is made from this starter; it is a simple, stirred quickbread that includes a substantial amount of sugar and vegetable oil, with a mild cinnamon flavor. It has characteristics of both pound cake and coffee cake. The flavor of the finished product can be altered by omitting cinnamon.
A common cycle is based on the addition of one cup each of sugar, flour, and milk every five days, with bread baked and extra starter shared every tenth day. The ten-day cycle produces five cups of starter, which must be either used to bake bread, given away, or used to start a new cycle. A common suggestion is to bake one loaf of bread, give away three cups of starter, and to save the remaining one for the next cycle.
It is not necessary to wait the canonical ten days before using one cup of starter: a cup of starter can be used as a yeast substitute at any point. However, using starter on earlier days will result in a smaller quantity of starter at the end of the cycle. To avoid running out of starter, it is normal to feed the starter (add milk, sugar, and flour) before removing a cup for use, and most recipes assume that starter is always fed immediately before being removed. A five-day baking cycle feeds the starter every fifth day and uses the resulting mixture on that day to bake one or two loaves of bread (one cup per loaf). The remaining starter is reserved to begin the next five-day fermentation cycle.
Despite common instructions to the contrary, the starter can be frozen for later use, and the cycle begun anew after thawing. The cycle can also be slowed to about half the normal fermentation rate by refrigerating the starter instead of allowing it to ferment at room temperature. Refrigeration is usually recommended if a few days' delay is desired. #barrylewis
