"Foolproof" Sourdough Starter


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 176
Yield: 3 Cups

Ingredients

1 tablespoon (1 packet) active dry yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
2 cups white unbleached flour

Directions:

1. Place all of the ingredients in a glass or crockery container with a tightly fitting cover, and stir with a wooden spoon until well blended (don’t bother making it smooth; the lumps will work themselves out). Cover the crock loosely with a paper towel and leave on the counter. Within a few hours, the mixture will begin to bubble.

2. Let the mixture sit for 3 to 5 days, or until it has a strong sour smell, a slight yellowish color, and the consistency of pancake batter.

3. Use the starter right away, or stir it (with a nonmetallic spoon), tightly close the container, and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
