Basic Sourdough Starter (With Potato) Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
Directions
- Cook potato in water to cover till tender. Pour off liquid to measure 1 c, saving potato for other use. Let potato water cook to lukewarm. In a glass or possibly ceramic bowl which has been scalded, place flour, yeast and sugar; add in lukewarm potato water and stir in well. Cover with plastic wrap and pierce with fork to release gases. Place in a hot, draft-free location at an even 85F for 2 days; stir several times daily. (don't let sourdough starter rise above 95F because higher temp are favorable to less desireable microorganisms) Chill till ready to use. Replenish with one c flour and 3/4 c water and let stand overnight or possibly 12 hours in a hot location before refrigerating again. When replenishing, add in lukewarm water with flour.
- Starter should be at room temp when using in recipes, always after having stood 12 hours from addition of replenishing flour and water. At least 1 c should remain to chill.
