    List of Ingredients





    1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
    1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
    3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
    3 cups granulated sugar, divided
    3 cups warm milk (110 degrees F), divided

    Recipe




    Day 1
    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Let stand 10 minutes.

    In a 2 quart container glass, plastic or ceramic container, combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly or flour will lump when milk is added. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until bubbly.

    Days 2 through 4
    Stir starter with a wooden spoon.

    Day 5
    Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk.

    Days 6 through 9

    Day 10
    Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Remove 1 or 2 cups to make your first bread, give three cups to friends along with the recipe. Store the remaining starter in a container in the refrigerator and begin the 10 day process over again.

    You can also freeze this starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter will take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.
