SOURDOUGH STARTER
A super easy recipe to make your own sourdough starter for bread. No need to buy yeast!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Honey or Sugar
- ¼ Cup Rye Flour or Flour of choice
- 1 OPTIONAL - Twig and leaf of a Hawthorne Tree (contains the yeast)
- Enough Warm Water to make is slightly runny
Instructions
- Dissolve honey in the warm water. Add your flour and place a small twig (optional) in the mixture. Mix together until it's all combined then pour in a glass jar and seal with a lid.
- Store in a dark place ie: cupboard.
- Shake each day for 6 days and undo lid to re-release gas, then put the lid back on.
- On the 7th day the culture should be ready. It will smell sweet/sour, and the gases will be released when you open the bottle each time.
- To keep the starter going for next time, leave a bit left in the jar from the mixture you've already made and add more flour and water. Shake daily, as mentioned before. Repeat this process every 7 days to keep it going.
