WHITE SOURDOUGH STARTER

Ingredients

Amount

 

 

Active dry yeast

2¼ tsp.

 

 

Water (110°F/43°C)

2 cups

 

 

Bread flour

3½ cups

 

 

Sugar

1 tbsp.

 

 

In 4-qt. glass container, dissolve yeast in water (110°F/43°C); let stand 5 minutes, then add flour and sugar. Stir with plastic or wooden spoon until blended. Mixture will be thick; remaining lumps will dissolve during fermentation process. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place for 5 days, stirring 3 times a day. Starter will “rise and fall” during fermentation period and become thinner as it stands. Sitting temperature of 80°F/27°C is best for sour flavor to develop. When starter is developed, it is bubbly and may have yellow liquid layer on top; stir before using. It may be used for baking or placed in the refrigerator to use later; cover loosely.

To use starter, measure amount specified in recipe. After refrigeration, let container of starter come to room temperature before measuring – about 4 hours. If baking in the morning, leave starter out overnight.

Replenish with 1 cup flour, 2/3 cup water (110°F/43°C) and 1 tsp. sugar. Stir until blended – some lumps may remain. Cover loosely and let stand 10 to 12 hours or overnight. Starter will rise and become bubbly. Stir, then place in refrigerator to store. Stir in 1 tsp. of sugar to keep active if not used every week.
