Sourdough Starter



Here is a unique sourdough starter given to me by my grandmother.  She uses it to make only bread.  I use it for many things including, bread, pizza dough, and pancakes.  It uses potato flakes, a bit unusual.  I have tried to make other starters, but most of them take day's or weeks.  This one is just overnight.  It can be kept alive if it is fed weekly.  It smells so nice.

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of instant potato flakes
  • 1 package of active dry yeast (8g)
Mix ingredients together, loosely cover with a lid and leave overnight.  I use plastic almond container.  It can be used the next day.
