    Title: How To Begin Sourdough (Without Starter)
    Categories: Breads, Sourdough
    Yield: 1 Batch

    4 c Lukewarm water; (or water
    -drained from boiled
    -potatoes)
    1 tb White sugar
    1 pk Fleischmann's dry yeast
    1 ts Salt; (if potato water is
    -not used)
    4 c Flour; approximately

    Stir sugar (and salt) into lukewarm water. Sprinkle yeast over water.
    Let stand 10 minutes. Add flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let
    stand overnight. Beat again and store in a 2-quart jar in
    refrigerator until needed. Use all but one cup, then add more flour
    and water to make more sourdough. There is no need to add anything to
    the sourdough unless you need more. This can be left for several
    weeks without using it or adding to it and it will still work. Shake
    or stir jar every day or two to keep it mixed up.

    MMMMM
