Ingredients

  • 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cups bread flour

Method

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water.
  • Add sugar, vinegar, salt, flour.
  • Add remaining water until a creamy batter is formed.
  • Place in a glass bowl, cover and let sit until it starts to ferment.
  • About 3 days.
  • It will take on a powerful boozy smell.
  • Stir again until creamy and measure out what is called for in the recipe.
  • Replenish starter with equal amounts of flour and water.
  • Store in the fridge and bring to room temp before using.
  • It says to allow to ferment for one week between uses but I don't.
  • I do let it sit out overnight after I feed it.
  • This starter took about 1 1/2 months to become really sour.
