**Sourdough Starter**

I’m a semi retired widow and I work part time as a cashier. I have 1 son a chihuahua, 2 budgies ands Blue Heeler.. Bread making and preparing soups from all cultures are my two favourite passions.. I own over 500 cook books.. I’m happy and I am still enjoying life.

1½ tsp (¼ oz.) yeast

½ cup warm water

2 cups warm water

2 cups flour

1 tbsp. Honey

In medium bowl put 1st amount of water and yeast and allow to set for 10 minutes. Stir to dissolve

Then add final 3 ingredients. Beat until smooth. Cover with cheesecloth. Let stand at room temperature for several days, stirring 2 to 3 times a day. When starter is ready, starter should have a sour smell with small bubbles gently rising to the surface.

The process will take from 5 to 10 days..

Turn into jar, cover and refrigerate.

To replenish: For each 1 cup used; add ¾ cup flour

¾ cups water

1 tsp of honey

Stir well and cover loosely. Let stand at room temperature until bubbly.. Possibly 1 day. Refrigerate.

Read NOTES: If not using..

TO FEED STARTER: If starter isn’t used on a regular basis, stir in 1 tsp. Honey every 10 days.
