1. 1

   Mix all together, and let sit on your counter for 3 days with a loose fitting lid or cover with Saran wrap. On the third day stir it well. Let sit for two days more. Now some recipes call for adding 1 packet of yeast on the fifth day, that has been dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water. It sort of speeds the process of it getting sour. If you do add it then let the mix sit out for at least one more week and stir it each day. If you don't add it, you still have to let it sit out for the week, but, it may not be as sour the first few times you use it. I did not add the yeast. I just kept using it, and after the third or fourth time it was sour enough. Store the starter in the fridge. Now it will SEPARATE, into two parts, a darkish liquid on the top. This is NORMAL. Before you use it you stir the liquid back into the bottom part. Be sure to use a wooden spoon and do not let metal touch any part of the sour dough. Now to make the Sponge: 1/2 cup of warm water 1/2 cup starter mixed well 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups of flour

   Mix all very well in a glass bowl only and use only a wooden spoon, or plastic. Cover with Saran wrap and let sit over night. It will almost triple in size.
