Sour-Dough Starter

Be good to your starter by using or replenishing it every 10 days, and it will reward you with baked goods full of tangy sourdough taste. Remember, the older your starter, the heartier the sourdough flavor.
  • 2 Cups Unbleached Flour, preferably organic ground
  • 2 Cups Water (make sure you use filtered water!!)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons (1 package) Active Dry Yeast
Makes: about 2 1/2 Cups Starter

Directions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, water, and yeast until a thin batter forms. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature, stirring once a day, for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours. If the liquid that forms on the top turns pinkish, discard the entire batch of starter and begin again.
Step 2: Rinse a 1-quart jar with boiling water. Stir the starter well and transfer to the jar and cover tightly with the lid. The starter is now ready to use but will improve in flavor is refrigerated for at least 3 days. The older the starter is, the stronger the flavor, and the better the bread. If a brownish liquid rised to the top of the starter, just stir it back in before using. (It's only the alcohol forming as a byproduct of the fermentation process.)
Step 3:To use the starter, rinse out a metal measuring cup with warm water (this discourages sticking). Use a level measured amount. Replace the amount of starter used with an equal amount of flour and water in 50-50 portportions. For example, if you use 1 cup of starter, stir in 1/2 cup of flour and water into the jar of remaining starter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours to ferment. Cover with the lid and refrigerate until ready to use again.
Step 4: If the starter is not used within 10 days, it must be replenished, Discard (or use) 1 cup of the starter. Stir 1/2 cup each flour and water into the remaining starter, and let stand as above. If you feed your starter faithfully every 2 weeks, it should last indefinitely.
