-------- ------------ --------------------------------
NFXS18B
2 c Rye flour
1 tb Yeast
1 1/2 c Lukewarm water
Onion slice optional

In a glass or ceramic bowl, or jar that has been
scalded, combine flour and yeast, add water and blend
well. Add onion slice, cover with platic wrap and
pierce plastic with fork to release gases. Place in a
warm, draft-free place, at an even 85F for 3 days.;
stir several times daily. Remove onion slice and
refrigerate until ready to use. Onion imparts a strong
flavor and this starter can only be used with
compatible rye recipes; rye starter without onion can
be used in any rye sourdough recipe. To replenish,
always use rye flour. If starter does not seem bubbly
after replenishing and standing 12 hrs, sprinkle 1 t
yeast over and stir in well. Like whole wheat starter,
you may have to plan longer rising times for dough
made with this one.
