all the posts and decided I want to start with a simple sourdough starter, just to get started. I found one on Zaar, that has had good success and I have everything on hand. Does it look okay?Here it is:
Sourdough Bread Starter
Recipe #13750
This is your basic Sour Dough bread starter to be used over and over again. Look for the sour dough bread recipe to make use of this starter
by Bergy
4 days | 4 days prep
1 starter
1 (1 tablespoon) package dry yeast
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, rest for ten minutes.
Mix in flour, sugar& remaining water.
Allow to stand, loosely covered, in a warm place for 3 or 4 days. Use a large (preferably ceramic) bowl as it will rise considerably.
Every time the batter is used to make a product set aside 1 cup to be used as a"starter" for another batch.
Keep covered in the fridge (a pint jar works nicely).
To make it into a basic batter again, add another 2 cups flour& 2 cups warm water and allow to stand at room temp overnight It is now ready to use, but again reserve a cup of the starter.
