Sourdough 

process:

  • The night before take it out of the refrigerator
  • add 
    • 1 cup flour, 
    • 1 cup water, 
    • 1 tsp honey/sugar

Day of baking:

Put 1 cup of starter back in the fridge, use 1 cup in the recipe - toss the rest (or give it to someone)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup starter
  • 1 package dry active yeast
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2.5 cups flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • another 1/2 to 1 cup flour

Directions:

On a floured surface, knead in the remaining flour for 6-8 minutes 

Shape into a ball - leave covered in a greased pan until doubled (1 - to 1.5 hours)

Punch down, and shape, cover and let rise another 30min to 1 hour

Bake at 400 for 30 minutes (?really?) 


Re-starting with a new starter

  • 1 active dry yeast packet
  • 2.5 cups warm water 
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 TBLSP sugar or honey

Dissolve year in 1/2 cup warm water, wait 10 minutes to make sure it's frothy, add water, flour, sugar

Cover and leave in a warm spot, stirring 3 times a day, until bubble.  If you don't use it the next day, add a tsp of sugar to revive it when you do (up to 10 days) - or put it back in the fridge.
