Sourdough Starter
Keep this starter on hand to use in the sourdough recipes found throughout this site.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons or 1 envelope FLEISCHMANN’S Active Dry Yeast 2 cups warm water (100 to 110°F)
Directions
In a 2-quart or larger container, combine all-purpose flour and yeast. Gradually add water to dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Cover loosely; let stand in a warm place until bubbly and sour smelling, and and clear liquid has formed on top, about 2 to 4 days. Starter may darken, but if it changes to another color, discard and start over. Transfer to a 2-quart or larger plastic container with tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To keep starter alive: Once a week stir in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon lukewarm water (100 to 110oF). Beat until smooth. Cover loosely and let stand until bubbly, 12 to 24 hours. Cover tightly; refrigerate until ready to use.
To replenish starter: For each 3/4 cup [1 1/4 cups] of starter used, add 2/3 cup [1 cup] all-purpose flour and 2/3 cup [1 cup] lukewarm water (100 to 110oF). Beat until smooth. Cover loosely and let stand until bubbly, 12 to 24 hours. Use or cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use.
