For myself, I eat less, and it makes for better sandwiches and toast.<br />The main difference is that I add 1 gram of instant yeast to a 1200 gram batch. This helps with the rise in the loaf pan.

I'm sure I would forget about feeding the starter given I couldn't remember to change the water in my soaking olives on an ongoing basis. The feeding process sounds similar to how I made Ethiopian sourdough injera flatbreads with teff flour a few years ago.
