Eternal sourdough for rye flour bread

To prepare the eternal leaven for rye bread, you only need rye flour and water. And, of course, you need to stock up on patience, as the leaven ripens for five days. Every day we will feed the mixture, observe and wait for the end of the process. When the sourdough is ready, part of it will be used to knead the dough, and part of it will be used to prepare a new portion of the leaven. The process can be continued indefinitely, of course, observing the specified conditions.
