This was a serendipitous find when my daughter accidentally added too much water to a french dough recipe. Rather than just toss out the dough, I tossed it into a glass gallon jar and let it percolate for a few days. It made a great sourdough batter! Refresh once a week by adding 1/2 cup water and 3/4 cup flour. It can be refrigerated. Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast |
4 cups flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
3 cups cold water |
Directions:
1. Stir the yeast into the flour til well-mixed.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour-yeast mixture and sugar into the water til thoroughly incorporated.
3. Store in a glass gallon jar to allow room for fermentation (it will bubble up). Cover top with cheesecloth to allow for ventilation.
4. Stir down occasionally with a wooden or plastic spoon - don't ever use metal utensils or containers.
5. Refresh the batter at least once a week with 1/2 cup water and 3/4 cup flour. If necessary, you can refresh it every three days.
