Simple Sour Dough Starter

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup warm water preferably non-chlorinated
  • 1 pinch yeast

Instructions

  1. In a clean glass jar (don’t use metal anything with it), add flour, water and yeast and mix with a wooden spoon. Dough should be the consistency of pancake batter. Cover with cheese cloth or a light piece of fabric and let sit on the counter. Tomorrow, you’ll take approximately 1/2 cup of the starter out to cook with and then replenish your remaining starter with another 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour. Repeat every day. This will get stronger and MORE ACTIVE each day as it catches more wild yeast.

Recipe Notes

I know that this isn’t going to be authentic wild caught yeast sour dough but we want to jump start this starter and we won’t be adding any more commercial yeast after this.
