Preparation
Step 1
12 servings
1. Mix all the ingredients. The mixture will be wet and runny, Cover and allow to ferment for one hour between 80 and 100 degrees.
2. After one hour, to the fermented mixture, add 2 cups whole Wheat flour and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix on slow speed until the flour is taken up by the mixture. If it is still too wet and stick, add a bit more flour.
