-Judy Vocelka-NFXS18B
1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour
1 t Active dry yeast
1 1/2 c Lukewarm water

In a glass or ceramic bowl or jar that has been
scalded, combine flour and yeast, add water and blend
well. Cover with plastic wrap and pierce with fork to
release gases. Place in a warm, draft-free location at
an even 85F for 18-24 hrs; stir several times daily.
Refrigerate until ready to use. If you have several
starters, keep whole wheat separate from others to
preserve its own distinctive flavor. Whole wheat
starter does not have as much rising action as that
made with white flour; you may have to plan longer
rising times. To replenish, always use whole wheat
flour.
