Sourdough yeast starter

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack Dry yeast
2 cups Warm water
2 cups Flour

Directions

1. Empty yeast into mixing bowl and stir in warm water until dissolved. Add flour and stir until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand at room temperature (or in oven out of drafts) for at least 48 hours, or until hooch (clear liquid) forms on top. 2. Store in refrigerator in a jar with a loose fitting lid (I like to use

a plastic peanut butter jar) . Renew monthly by adding alternately 1 cup of water or 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of flour. ¼ cup of sugar may be added every other month to add to the fermentation. 3.

Always save at least one-cup of the fermented mixture to use as on-going starter. If recipe calls for 3 cups of starter, add 3 cups of milk (or water) and three cups of flour. Allow to stand until clear liquid forms on top. Save 1-cup for future use and use the extra 3 cups in the recipe.
