Went to Wal-mart and snagged another shelf to add into my pantry (my stock is just growing like a weed) YAY!
Then I hit up Value Village and scooped up a few mason jars and this!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active-dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F.)
You leave this lightly covered with a kitchen towel for 6 days.
Feed it every other day 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water. (take a note pad and leave it by your starter listing days 1 - 6 day 1 being the day you put this bad boy together)
After day six transfer to a plastic container with a lid and put it in your fridge when ready to use.
Now when you use this starter, you must re feed it. So for my bread recipe I use 1 1/2 cups of my starter. So when I take it out. I add back 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 cups water and let it sit for overnight and put it back into my plastic and to the fridge again. I know it's soooooo hard!! LOL
Okay, for 1 loaf of my yummy sourdough.
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sourdough starter
3/4 teaspoon salt
Put it in your mixer and let it mix till it no longer sticks to the sides of your bowl.
In a lightly oiled bowl cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours
after that take it back out and knead out all air pockets and form into your desired shape (I shape mine into a rectangle to fit into my loaf pan) but you can do a bread bowl or anything.
lay on a floured surface and cover lightly with a kitchen towel and let rest 1 more hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 1 hour
Your bread with have a dark crust and if you knock on the bottom should sound hollow.
