Biga starter for Ciabatta: Stir yeast into warm water, let stand 10 min.
Stir in remaining water and flour. Mix for 3 or 4 minutes. Let rise at cool
room temp 6-24 hours -- the starter will triple in volume and be wet and
sticky. Refrigerate until ready to use. It freezes well, needs 3 hours at
room temperature to re-activate. Can be refrigerated for about a week.
