Sourdough Starter Recipe | Allrecipes image

Make your starter in a glass container and store in the refrigerator after fermentation has occurred.

Provided by Esther Nelson

Categories     Sourdough Bread

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In large non-metallic bowl, mix together dry yeast, 2 cups warm water, and 2 cups all purpose flour and cover loosely.
  • Leave in a warm place to ferment, 4 to 8 days. Depending on temperature and humidity of kitchen, times may vary. Place on cookie sheet in case of overflow. Check on occasionally.
  • When mixture is bubbly and has a pleasant sour smell, it is ready to use. If mixture has a pink, orange, or any other strange color tinge to it, THROW IT OUT! and start over. Keep it in the refrigerator, covered until ready to bake.
  • When you use starter to bake, always replace with equal amounts of a flour and water mixture with a pinch of sugar. So, if you remove 1 cup starter, replace with 1 cup water and 1 cup flour. Mix well and leave out on the counter until bubbly again, then refrigerate. If a clear to light brown liquid has accumulated on top, don't worry, this is an alcohol base liquid that occurs with fermentation. Just stir this back into the starter, the alcohol bakes off and that wonderful sourdough flavor remains! Sourdough starters improve with age, they used to be passed down generation to generation!
  • Use this starter to make the Sourdough Chocolate Cranberry Cake, and the Sourdough Chocolate Cake.

How to Make a Sourdough Starter | Sourdough | Recipes ... image

A sourdough starter is a paste made from a whole grain flour* and water that captures and develops wild yeasts to create the basis of leavening for sourdough bread making. This paste will need ‘feeding’ with flour and water about every 12 hours and must be kept in a warm place for 3 to 5 days to become active. Once the starter is active some of it is used to make a ferment which is eventually mixed with more flour and water to make breads such as a Sourdough Cob, Sourdough Spelt Wholemeal Loaf or Sourdough Pumpkin and Sunflower Bread. For additional information with hints and tips, please see our Guide to Sourdough Making and you may also find our Sourdough Starter Table helpful.

Number Of Ingredients 2

8-10 tbsp Doves Farm Organic Wholemeal Spelt Flour *
8-10 tbsp tepid water

Steps:

  • Starter – use this handy chart to help you keep track of your feeding times. On the first day, put one tablespoon of flour and one of water into a 500ml glass bowl and mix together. Wet a clean tea towel, wring it out well, lay it over the bowl and leave in a warm place for about 12 hours. After the 12 hours have passed, add another tablespoon of flour and another of water, mix together, cover with the damp tea towel and leave for another 12 hours. On day two (24 hours since beginning your starter), stir in a third tablespoon of flour and a third spoon of water, stir to mix, cover again with the damp tea towel and leave in a warm place for 12 hours. For the second feed of day two, add a tablespoon of flour and one of water, stir to mix, cover with the damp tea towel and leave in a warm place for 12 hours. For the first feed of day three (36 hours since beginning your starter), increase the feed by adding two tablespoons of flour and two of water, stir to mix. Re-dampen the tea towel if necessary, lay it over the bowl and leave in a warm place for 12 hours. On the second feed of day three, add two tablespoon of flour and another two of water, mix together, cover and leave for another 12 hours. At this point your starter should be bubbly and ready to create your ferment. If the starter is not showing bubbles, repeat the 12-hour flour and water feeding routine, and ensure the starter is kept constantly in a warm place.

AMISH SOURDOUGH BREAD/STARTER RECIPE - FOOD.COM
Found this recipe in my mother's recipe box. I don't remember her ever making it, but I have and it makes gorgeous bread! Starter takes 10 days to ferment, but after this you can make bread anytime you want! Traditionally, starter is given to friends and family in 1 cup increments, after the 10 days. You can also freeze 1 cup in zip lock bags for future use. I know it sounds like a lot of sweetener, but the yeast needs this sugar to feed itself, bread will not be sweet. Starter can be used for many other breads, such as doughnuts, cinnamon buns, etc. Follow recipe using 1 pkg yeast and 1 cup of starter. Prep time doesn't count 10 days to prepare starter. Nutrition Information is for total ingredients so won't be accurate.
