The starters I found here aren't the same as mine, and I keep losing it, so I'm putting it here for easy reference Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
3 cups white sugar, divided |
3 cups milk |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
2. Let stand 10 minutes.
3. In a 2 quart container glass, plastic or ceramic container, combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar.
4. Mix thoroughly or flour will lump when milk is added.
5. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and dissolved yeast mixture.
6. Cover loosely and let stand until bubbly.
7. Consider this day 1 of the 10 day cycle.
8. Leave loosely covered at room temperature.
9. On days 2 thru 4; stir starter with a spoon.
10. Day 5; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk.
11. Days 6 thru 9; stir only.
12. Day 10; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk.
13. Remove 1 cup to make your first bread, give 2 cups to friends along with this recipe, and your favorite Amish Bread recipe.
14. Store the remaining 1 cup starter in a container in the refrigerator, or begin the 10 day process over again (beginning with step 2).
