Sourdough Starter #6 — a community recipe on Potlikkr.

Ingredients

• White Flour Water

Method (preview)

1. 1

   The quick recipe is: mix up a thick soup of white flour and water and put it on your window sill for about a week, whipping it a few times a day to get air into it. Sourdough comes from wild yeast which are floating around in the air all the time... well, just when the weather's warm enough it. The flour and water is just a way of "harvesting" those yeasties.

2. 2

   After that several days, you should start to get bubbles forming and it should start to smell something like bread yeast. If it does, then it is. It's really pretty simple.
