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.

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.
