Directions:
Mix the above ingredients in a non- metal container. a crock jar is the best. Make sure that it is large enough to let the starter rise double or triple in size. Let the mixture stand, loosely covered, for a day or two. It will be frothy and full of bubbles. You will notice the sour characteristics of the sour dough will start after the first day. After the mixture has fermented and soured, stir it down and refrigerate. it will be better after it has aged for a few days. Even better after it has been used and replenished a few times.
