Sourdough Starter (Courtesy of Annie's Eats)
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp. sugar or honey
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp. sugar or honey
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Pour the water into a 2-quart glass or ceramic jar or bowl. Stir in the sugar or honey to dissolve. Stir in the yeast. Gradually whisk in the flour. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel or dishcloth (not plastic wrap) and place it in a warm area. Let it develop 2-5 days (I let mine go for 5), stirring once a day due to the separation that will occur. When bubbling has subsided and a sour aroma has developed, stir once more and refrigerate until ready to use.
Sourdough Bread
1 Cup Starter
3 Cups Flour
2 Cups Warm Water
1/4 Cup sugar
Mix together and let stand in a warm place overnight (no more then 8-10 hours.)
Take out 1 cup and add to your starter to replenish, adding 1Tablespoon of sugar. Stir and replace starter in the fridge. To the remaining dough add:
1 Cup Warm Milk
1 Egg
1/4 Cup softened butter
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons salt
4-5 Cups Flour
Mix well, adding flour as needed. Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, cover and let rise until double. Punch down and shape (I baked mine in loaf pans.) Allow to rise, bake 30 minutes at 400.
*This recipe makes 2 large loaves of bread, so it may take more then 30 minutes for them to cook through in the middle.
