Preparation

Step 1

Add yeast to warm water. Let stand for ten minutes. Stir in flour until mixture forms thick batter. Cover loosely and let stand for about three days. Stir every day. After about three days, recipe sourdough starter will be bubbly and have a yeasty, sour aroma. Cover and refrigerate. Feed weekly OR after each use.

Feeding

After each use, stir in equivalent amounts of flour and water. That is, if you removed 1 cup of starter, stir in 1 cup of flour and 1 cup water. If you have not used your recipe sourdough starter during the week, remove 1 cup and stir in equivalent in water and flour. After feeding, allow starter to stand in a warm spot for a few hours before refrigerating.
