Bread could be made using baking powder in decision to yeast . this version would not require increasing time , so it may pass from blending bowl to oven and be finished in 40 5 minutes to an hour finding on the recipe . The Fannie Farmer cookbook has numerous rapid bread recipes

I think you mean Starter, which is a piece of raw dough from the days before bread making, a piece of dough is pulled off the mix, refrigerated and used with the new dough, you still need yeast everyday, it is just a way ofcontributing a sourdough flavour to the bread , kind of like ageing cheese, a continuation, some bakers keep their starter for years (a piece of raw dough pulled off the batch everyday and used in the next days bread dough)

1 c Sourdough starter
2 1/2 c Flour
2 c Warm water
3 3/4To 4-1/4 C flour
3 tb Sugar
1 t Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
3 tb Vegetable oil
Cold water
Mix 1 st 3 ingreds. in 3 qt. glass bowl with wooden
spoon until smooth. Cover; let stand in warm,
draft-free place for 8 hours. Add 3-3/4 C flour,
sugar, salt, baking soda and oil to the mixture in
bowl. Stir with wooden spoon until smooth and flour is
completely absorbed. (Dough should be just firm enough
to gather into a ball. If necessary, add remaining 1/2
C flour gradually, stirring until all flour is
absorbed.) Turn dough onto heavily floured surface;
knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover;
let rise in warm place until double, about 1-1/2
hours. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when
touched.) Punch dough down; divide into halves. Shape
each half into a round, slightly flat loaf. Do not
tear dough by pulling. Place loaves in opposite
corners of greased cookie sheet. Make three 1/4" deep
slashes in each loaf. Let rise until double, about 45
minutes. Heat oven to 375. Brush loaves with cold
water. Place cookie sheet in center of oven; it should
not touch the sides of the oven. Bake, brushing
occasionally with water, until loaves sound hollow
when tapped, about 50 minutes. Remove from cookie
sheets; cool on wire racks.
Be sure to let dough rise completely both times - it
might take longer than the estimated times given.

Just do an internet search for sourdough starter. There are several versions available. Try a few until you decide which one you like best.

No "stater," but most sourdough recipes call for "starter."

Do you mean a "starter"? Most bakeries have it, that's how they bake their breads, especially sour dough.
