This is a great use for extra sourdough starter. I have only tried this recipe with active starter, but I'm pretty sure inactive starter would work as well. My starter is kept at 100% hydration, which means I feed it equal parts flour and water by weight. This creates a starter with a thick gloppy consistency.
