Sourdough Starter

By K. Fields

Ingredients:
  • 1 Packet Yeast
  • 2 1/4 Cups Warm Water
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 Tbs Sugar
  • 1 Tbs Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • Glass Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon

Directions:
  • In glass bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water.
  • Stir in sugar, vinegar, salt, and flour.
  • Slowly add remaining water while constantly stirring until a creamy texture
  • Cover bowl and let sit until bubbles start to form on the surface. Usually in about 3-4 days.
  • It will have a very strong sour odor, which is good!
  • After you notice lots of bubbles, stir until the creamy texture is back, then divide the starter in half.
  • Use one half for a sourdough recipe.
  • Mix together 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water, then stir mixture into remaining sourdough starter until creamy
  • Cover and refrigerate
  • Wait at least 3 days before using again
  • Bring it to room temperature before using in a recipe.

K's Tip:s

Remember: always divide the fermented starter in half and use one half for a recipe and in the other half add the flour and water mixture again and refrigerate, and you can have sourdough starter forever.

Sometimes rather then making something, I just give half to a friend and tell them how to keep it going. It makes a nice housewarming gift, etc etc.

Now that we have some sourdough starter going, I can start adding sourdough recipes.

I live in Northern Alaska!
Hence the unique spelling of my blog title.

I love Alaska!

It can be a challenging place to live, but... the beauty that surrounds me makes it all worth while.

This blog/website is my opinion or views on what I hear, or see, on just about anything!

Mixed with some genuine facts!
