SOURDOUGH STARTER

2-1/4 tsp. active dry yeast

2 cups all-purpose flour

16 oz. warm water

In a 2 or 3 quart glass bowl, using a wooden or nylon spoon, mix yeast and warm water, let stand 10 minutes. Add flour; mix until thick batter forms. Batter need not be smooth. Cover loosely with cheesecloth, lightweight kitchen towel or plastic wrap; let stand in warm place for 24 hours. Stir; cover loosely. Place starter in a warm place for 2 to 3 days or until it bubbles and smells sour; stir once a day. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or plastic cover; refrigerate.

TO REPLENISH STARTER

After using a portion of starter, replenish with equal amounts of flour and warm water. For example, if 10 oz. (1-1/4 cups) of starter were removed to make bread, replenish remaining starter with 10 oz. (1-1/4 cups) warm water and 10 oz. (1-1/4 cups) flour. Stir well to blend, cover and let stand in warm place until bubbly, 3 to 5 hours. Store starter in loosely covered glass container in refrigerator. If not used at the end of one week, remove 1 cup starter and discard;

then replenish with equal amounts of flour and warm water as instructed above.
