Quick Sourdough Starter
__notoc__ This is a quick way to start a sourdough starter and is particularly useful for Amish friendship bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 small package (0.25 ounces / 7 grams) instant dry yeast
Steps
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- Cover the bowl and place in a warm place (~70–80 °F / 20–27 °C). It should begin making some small bubbles within an hour or two (the timing depends mainly on how cold the milk is).
- Proceed as directed for "Day 1" of your sourdough recipe.
