    List of Ingredients




    1 pkg. dry yeast
    1/2 c. warm (105 to 115 degree) water
    2 c. flour
    1 tsp. salt
    3 tbsp. sugar
    2 c. warm water

    Recipe



    Dissolve 1 package dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes.

    Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons sugar in non-metal bowl. Mix well. Gradually stir in 2 cups warm (105 to 115 degree) water. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place, 80 to 85 degrees for 72 hours, stirring 2 to 3 times daily.

    Place fermented mixture in refrigerator and stir daily. Use within 11 days.

    To use, remove sourdough starter from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour. Stir well and measure amount of starter needed for recipe. Replenish remaining starter with Herman Food and return to refrigerator; use within 2 to 14 days, stirring daily.

    HERMAN FOOD:

    Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup milk; stir in remaining sourdough starter and refrigerate.

    NOTE: Some instructions with Herman sourdough starters have strict schedules for feeding and baking. However, Herman sourdough starter can be used any time within 2 to 14 days from previous use. Each time a cup is removed, replenish or feed it to maintain the volume and nourish the yeast.

    Sourdough starter may also be frozen. Before using, let it thaw at room temperature until bubbly, about 5 hours.

    If you are given a cup of Herman Starter, put mixture you receive in a large bowl.

    DAY 1: (Day you receive Herman). Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1 cup milk. Stir well. Stir in refrigerator and cover lightly. Stir every day.

    DAY 5: Add the same as above and stir. Stir every day.

    DAY 10: Remove 1 cup of Herman for yourself and one cup for a friend and use the rest for the following recipes.
