Instructions

1. 1 Combine 2 cups flour, water, sourdough starter, 3 tablespoons butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl; mix into a stiff dough. Beat for a few minutes using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer; the dough should be quite moist and sticky.
2. 2 Place dough in a large, oiled bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean towel. Leave to ferment at room temperature 8 hours to overnight.

4. 4 Grease a loaf pan with 1 teaspoon butter. Shape dough into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 4 to 12 hours depending on temperature.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. 6 Brush top of loaf with beaten egg. Cut a 1/4-inch slash, lengthwise, down center using a sharp knife.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads at least 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.

3. 3 In small bowl, combine enough flour and water to make a paste about the consistency of glue. Spoon meat mixture into a thin line on each wrapper, and roll up, using a dab of the flour paste to seal the edge. Keep each lumpia thin; if you over fill them, the wrapper will tear. Save about 1/2 to 1/4 of the filling in the pot for the pancit.

6. 6 For the sauce: With a mortar and pestle or back of a spoon, crush the garlic, then mix into the vinegar. Serve in small bowls with spoons. The sauce can be used as a dip, or to spoon into the lumpia.
