Sourdough Starter

If you lost yours here is how you get it started again.





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups of flour
  
• 2 cups water
  
• 1 package dry yeast (1 Tablespoon)
  






Instructions



1. Combine 2 cups of flour, 2 Cups water and 1 package dry yeast (1 tablespoon).
   
2. Mix well, cover tightly and let stand in a warm place until light and foamy ( 8 to 10 hours).
   
3. Place 1/2 cup of this mixture in a clean glass jar and cover. Refrigerate.
   
4. This is the basic sourdough starter. The remaining "sponge" (about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups) can be used immediately for baked products.
   
5. Each time baked products are to be made, remove the basic dough starter from the refrigerator and add 2 cups flour and 2 cups warm water.
   
6. Repeat as for making starter and sponge, reserving 1/2 cup for refrigeration and use the remainder to make the product you want.
   
7. Most sourdough receipes call for 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups of sponge.
