Sourdough Starter

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat milk
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Preparation

Pour the nonfat milk into a small saucepan using medium heat. Bring the milk up to 90 degrees or lukewarm ( Do Not Boil! You just want it to be warm) . Remove from heat and add the yogurt. Stir till the milk and yogurt are combined. Pour the milk into a glass bowl or jar. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm spot for about 24 hours. After 24 hour have passed fold in the flour. Do not beat. Cover once again and place in a warm area for 2 - 5 days. You will notice the starter fermenting. You will see bubbles and it will turn into a thick, spongy mass. Be sure to stir the starter once or twice a day. Do not over stir. When the starter is ready cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. This should keep for about 4 weeks.
