Herman Sourdough Starter Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 c all-purpose white flour
- 2 c. lowfat milk
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/3 c. hot water
- 2 tbsp. (2 pkg.) active dry yeast
Directions
- Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. sugar over the hot water. Sprinkle yeast over this and let stand in a hot place to double in size, about 10 min.
- Mix lowfat milk, sugar, flour and yeast mix in a large plastic of glass container (about a 5-qt size). Stir, using only a wooden spoon or possibly paddle since metal objects retard Herman's natural growth. Cover loosely or possibly place glass plate over top of container so Herman can breathe.
- Herman doubles, even triples at times of vigorous rising. Place Herman in a hot place overnight. Next day chill, loosely covered, and try to stir each day. Yeast-type mold may begin to create on the surface after 48 hrs if you do not stir daily.
- On the 5th day, measure out 1 c. Herman for yourself to bake with. Measure out another c. to give a friend as a gift, provided you can part with it. Then feed the Herman you have left with: 1 c. all-purpose white flour, 1 c. lowfat milk, 1/2 c. sugar. Stir well. Keep in refrigerator in the same large container, loosely covered. Stir every day.
- On the 10th day, if you wish, measure out another c. of Herman to give to a friend. Because he has grown, you should have sufficient to bake a Herman recipe plus start the process of feeding him once again. If you are not using Herman often, just add in a Tbsp. of sugar every 5th day and continue as long as forever.
