SOURDOUGH STARTER RECIPE

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons plain, nonfat yogurt

1 cup bread flour

1.In saucepan or microwave, heat milk to 38°C. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt with a wooden or plastic spoon. Do not use metal utensils. Pour mixture into a warm glass, ceramic or plastic 6-cup bowl with a tight fitting lid. Do not use a metal bowl. Cover and let stand in a warm place 18 to 24 hours or until mixture is consistency of yogurt. When clear liquid forms on top of mixture, stir to blend in. If liquid turns pink in color, discard mixture and start over with fresh ingredients.

2.After mixture thickens, stir in 1 cup bread flour. Cover bowl tightly and let stand in warm place until mixture bubbles and has a sour smell, 2 to 5 days. Any clear liquid that forms on top of mixture can be stirred in. If the liquid turns pink in color, discard mixture and start over with fresh ingredients. Makes about 1⅓ cups. Use starter immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use. See instructions below for proper use and maintenance of starter.

1.Remove amount of room temperature starter as needed for recipe. If starter was refrigerated, allow to sit at room temperature 12 to

24hours or until bubbly. Stir in clear liquid that forms and remove amount needed for recipe.

2.Replenish starter every time some is removed with equal amounts of warm milk and bread flour. For example, if 1 cup of starter was removed to make bread, replenish remaining starter with 1 cup of warm, 38°C milk and 1 cup of bread flour. Stir well to blend, cover bowl and let stand in warm place until bubbly, 12 to 24 hours. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate until used, allowing to set at room temperature 12 to 24 hours before using as noted in Step 1 above. If at any time liquid on surface of mixture turns pink in color, discard mixture and start over with fresh ingredients.
