MMMMM----- Meal-Master Recipe Title: Easy Sourdough Starter Categories: Sourdough Yield: 1 2 c Flour 1 tb Dry yeast 1 1/2 c Warm water (105-115 F) In a large bowl or jar, mix the yeast with the water and allow to proof for about 10 minutes. It should be bubbly and active after the 10 minutes, if not discard and use new yeast. Sprinkle the flour onto the yest mixture and beat to make a thick batter. It is noe essential to get the mix too smooth as the action of the yest will break down any lumps. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand for 1 to 3 days in a warm place. Use immediately or store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. If unused or not replenished for more than 2 weeks the starter will become rancid, and should be discarded. To Replenish: After each use, replace the amount used with a paste made of equal parts of flour and water. Beat the paste into the starter, cover the container and allow to sit in a warm spot until the mixture bubble up, 6-24 hours. The mixture can then be used or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Note: I usually use beer as a liquid the first time I replenish my starter, to add body and extra flavor to the starter.
