I would recommend a straight dough (using a packet of active dry yeast) to get familiar with the bread baking process before moving to using a levain (starter).

You can then move to preferments (polish, biga, etc.) to get a more unique, deeper tasting bread.

Then move into the sourdough world.

Just my opinion.

Here is a same day straight dough recipe:

I've been making bread for several months, and toying with that recipe. The family loves it, and it is quite good.

2 cups bread flour
1 cup water 120 degrees
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

Mix and cover, let rise for one hr. Grease and flour baking dish, add dough mixture with a splash of olive oil. That's the basic, but at this step I add a generous portion of Italian seasoning to the mixture, and once I place it in the baking dish, I sprinkle Italian seasoning all over the top.

Cover and let rise once again for an HR, and then
Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.

It makes a really good Italian bread loaf, especially if you have some olive oil/seasoning to dip it in.
