Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pk Dry yeast
2 c Warm water
2 c Flour

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. 1/4 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.
