In a 4 quart glass container, dissolve yeast in water 110°F/43°C; let stand 5 minutes, add flour and
sugar. Stir with plastic or wooden spoon until blended. Mixture will be thick; remaining lumps will dissolve
during fermentation process. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place for 5 days, stir-
ring 3 times a day. The starter will “rise and fall” during the fermentation period and become thinner as it
stands. A temperature of 80°-85°F/27°-30°C is best for the sour flavor to develop. An ideal place is on
the counter next to your range. When the starter is developed, it is bubbly and may have a yellow liquid
layer on top; stir before using. It may be used for baking or placed in the refrigerator to use later. Cover
loosely.
To use starter, measure the amount specified in the recipe. When refrigerated, let container of starter
come to room temperature before measuring — about 4 hours. If baking in the morning, leave the starter
out overnight.
Replenish with 1 cup flour, 2/3 cup warm water 110°F/43°C and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir until blended;
some lumps may remain. Cover loosely and let stand in warm place for 10 to 12 hours or overnight.The
starter will rise and become bubbly. Stir, then place in refrigerator to store.
Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar to keep it active if the starter is not used every week.
