Friendship Bread Starter
Ingredients for Starter:
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
Procedure to make Starter:
Note: DO NOT use metal bowls or spoons and DO NOT refrigerate.
Dissolve yeast in small amount of warm water. Mix
all ingredients together in an ample sized bowl or jar (it WILL grow). This is Day 1 of the starter.
Day 1: The day
you receive the starter - Do nothing.
Day 2, 3, 4: Stir with wooden spoon.
Day 5: Add 1 cup each - flour, sugar, milk.
Stir.
Day 6, 7, 8: Stir with wooden spoon.
Day 9: Do nothing.
Day 10: Add 1 cup each - flour, sugar, milk. Stir.
Pour into 3 containers (1 cup each). Give 2 containers to friends along with this recipe. Keep 1 cup for yourself.
Note:
When giving starter away, only half fill the container and provide for some ventilation (ie. small hole in top of jar). The
starter does expand and unless the gases caused by the fermenting process are allowed to escape, they will build up and could
cause the lid of the container to pop off.
Store the remaining starter in a container in the refrigerator and begin
the 10 day process over again when ready. You can also freeze this starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter
will take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.
