I want to make sourdough bread in a bread machine. I need complete
directions including how to get a starter since I don.t have one. Thanks.


Sour dough starter

for 2 servings:

1 cup milk
1 cup flour

Put a cup of milk in a glass container,let it sit in a warm place for 24 hours
uncovered. It should look kind of like sour cream. Stir in a cup of flour and let is
sit in the warm place for several days. It should start to bubble and emit the
characteristic sour dough smell. If it doesn't do anything after 5 or 6 days, start
over. When ever you use it feed it with 1 cup of flour and one cup milk. If you don't
use it for 3 or 4 weeks dump out half and replenish with 1 cup flour and milk. Always
use the same kind of flour. If it starts to get too sour, alternate feedings with
water instead of milk. It keeps in the fridge virtually forever. Just bring it to room
temp befor using.
