Hi Kathleen
Delighted to hear you found our Common Loaf Sourdough video and recipe helpful.
You can use strong white flour for the starter if you wish, it will make a different loaf as it will now be all wheat.
If you haven’t already joined our online baking community through our website, I’d recommend doing so. When you join you will receive a free ebook titled The Sourdough Starter Cycle.
In this free ebook you’ll find useful information on getting you wheat starter just right for baking.
Also If you do plan use all strong white flour in the Common Loaf Recipe, I’d recommend substituting 15-20% of the strong flour with plain flour. This will still give you a loaf with great volume, but will give a softer mouth feel.

Hi Joe
I was at your course last weekend and loved it! I’m delighted with my first effort solo today trying the common loaf. Thanks again.
Hi Anita. It was lovely to meet you and we’re delighted you enjoyed the course. Happy baking! Julie & Joe
