Alaska Sour Dough Starter
1 package
yeast
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 1/4 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups bread flour
Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add sugar vinegar, salt, all purpose
flour. Add remaining water until a creamy batter is formed. Place in a glass
bowl, cover and let sit until it starts to ferment, about 3 days. It will take
on a powerful boozy smell. Stir again until creamy and measure out what is
called for in the recipe. Replenish starter with equal amounts of flour and
water. Store in the fridge and bring to room temp before using. Is best to allow
to ferment for one week between uses and to let it sit out overnight after
feeding it. This starter takes about 1 1/2 months to become really sour.
