Ingredients




4 cups flour, unbleached
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 cups potato water, lukewarm

Preparation

1 Put all ingredients in a crock or large jar and let stand in a warm place uncovered several days. 2 This is the author's last choice for making a starter, but seems to be in all the cookbooks dealing with Sourdough Starters. Use only as a last resort. 3 NOTE:  All containers for starters not using yeast must be carefully scalded before use. If you are careless or do not scald them the starter will fail.
