Alaska Sour Dough
1 package Yeast
1 tablespoon Vinegar
2 1/4 cups Warm water
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 cups Bread flour
Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add sugar vinegar,salt,all
purpose flour. Add remaining water until a creamy batter is formed. Place
in a glass bowl,cover and let sit until it starts to ferment, about
3 days.
It will take on a powerful boozy smell. Stir again until creamy and
measure out what is called for in the recipe.
Replenish starter with equal amounts of flour and water. Store in the
fridge and bring to room temp before using. It says to allow to ferment
for one week between uses but I don't. I do let it sit out overnight after
I feed it.
This starter took about 1 1/2 months to become really sour.
