Please help me make sourdough bread

[sunshinestarr]

I'm so confused! I read recipes and instructions online, I have a little booklet, and I'm just totally confused. I have a starter that I got to turn bubbly and frothy, then I stuck it in the fridge. Now I wanna make some bread. What do I do?? For some reason, this is all just completely over my head.
It's a whole wheat starter, if that makes any difference at all.

Here is my recipe:

step 1:
1 cup starter
1/2 cup water

Mix together and let sit covered for 6-8 hours or overnight in oven. Turn the light on and off to maintain the 78-80 degrees temp. (this is called proofing)
This will be used for recipe in step 2 below.

*Since you took a cup of starter out of your jar, you must give back. Add a cup of flour and 3/4 cup water to the stock jar. Mix and let sit out out for 1-2 hours on counter and then return to fridge. This is now ready to use any time you make bread.*

Step 2:
Proofed starter from step 1
3 cups water
6-7 cups flour (7th cup for kneading)
1 Tablespoon sea salt

Mix all together and knead dough using the 7th cup. place in oiled bowl and let proof (just like in step 1) for 6-8 hours.

Step 3
Shape dough into rolls or loaves. place in oiled pans. Let rise for 1-2 hours on oven with light on. Remove form oven. Preheat oven to 425. Bake risen bread for 20-30 minutes.

Just jump in and do it.

For mine I mix 2/3 cup starter, 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup water and let sit overnight (at least 8 hours) then add about 7 cups flour and 2 or so cups water plus a bit of salt. Knead for about 20 minutes, let rise for a few hours, punch down and knead for 5 minutes, shape/put in pans, let rise in pans, then bake.
