Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 13 cup water warm
- 2 tablespoons yeast, active dry
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose
- 1/4 cup honey
Method
- Stir well.
- Keep in refrigerator.
- Sprinkle ginger and 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar over warm water.
- Sprinkle yeast over this and stir.
- Let stand in warm place to double in size, about 10 minutes.
- Mix milk, rest of honey or brown sugar, flours and yeast mixture in a glass container, about the size of a gallon Pyrex jar.
- Stir, using only a wooden spoon, since metal objects will retard Herman's growth.
- Leave the cover on loosely or place a glass plate over the top of the container so Herman can breathe.
- Herman doubles, even triples at time of vigorous rising.
- Place Herman in a warm place overnight.
- Next day refrigerate, loosely covered, and stir each day.
- On the 5th day measure out 1 cup Herman for baking and another cup to give to a friend, if you wish, then feed the Herman you have left, thusly.
- From day 5 on you may bake with Herman any day you wish, always making sure you have one full cup left for feeding.
