2 cups unbleached bread flour
¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder or 1/4 cup dry buttermilk powder

Directions:
In a bowl whisk together water and yogurt. Add the flour and dry milk powder and beat until well blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a container, cover and let stand at room temperature for 48 hours, stirring the mixture twice daily. It will be bubbly, with a fresh sour smell and be the consistency of pancake batter. A clear pale yellow liquid will form on the top, just stir it back in. (if the liquid is any other color, discard mixture and start again) It can be refrigerated with a cover when done.

Before using in a recipe, let it stand at room temperature for one hour until bubbly.

To feed remaining starter, add 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water, stir to incorporate, and let stand for 48 hours.
