Sourdough Starter

Ingredients

• 1 cup Water (tepid)
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
• ¼ teaspoons Sugar
• 1 quart Glass Jar, No Smaller

Preparation Instructions

Combine ingredients in a glass jar (never metal) just as you would pancake batter, mixing only until combined. Cover with a heavy paper towel secured by a heavy rubber band.

I generally use this for homemade cinnamon rolls.

Note: Never seal with a tight lid! The living yeast will give off gas and the jar will explode.

Make 8-12 hours before you plan to use it in your recipe.
