Dr benjamin's rye bread starter abm

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
teaspoon Yeast
2 cups Water
2 cups Rye flour
1 small Onions
1 cup Water
cup Rye flour

Directions

Sprinkle yeast over tepid water. Beat in flour till no lumps remain. Peel and halve onion; add to starter. Cover loosely with cloth & let stand at room temp for 24 hrs.

Remove onion. Beat in tepid water & flour. Cover with cloth and let stand for 24 hrs more. The starter should now be pleasingly sour-smelling, almost beery and bubbly.

Feed once a week with ½ c tepid water & ¾ c rye flour and leave out overnight. Otherwise keep in fridge. (Good idea to feed the day before you're going to use it.)
