Place all 4 of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine, using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat on low speed for 3 minutes. (Or beat smooth by hand, with a rotary beater or a wire whisk.) Pour the mixture into a container and cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Let the starter stand at room temperature for 2 days (48 hours), stirring occasionally, before using. Refrigerate to store.
