INGREDIENTS:
2 cups warm water
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
PREPARATION:
Stir all of the ingredients in a large glass bowl – no metal bowls allowed as this mixture will absorb the taste of the metal. Cover the bowl with a cloth and stir once a day for 4 days. The mixture will bubble and smell somewhat. Next cover and refrigerate. Keep replacing the amount used by replenishing ingredients in a like quantity – only do not add any more yeast.
Important – If starter turns to an orange or purple color discard at once and begin again.
