Sourdough Starter II
Description
This is a basic sourdough starter: just yeast, flour and water left to ferment for a couple of days.
Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
•
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
Directions
1
Mix together flour, warm water, and yeast in a large glass bowl. Let stand uncovered in a warm place over night or up to 48 hours. The longer the mixture stands, the stronger the ferment will be.
2
After fermenting, the starter is ready to use or to store covered in the refrigerator. Feed once or twice a week with 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, and 1/4 cup sugar; allow the starter to rest at room temperature for several hours after feeding.
