Texas Sweet Sourdough Bread
Make the starter:
1 pkg dry yeast
11/2 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar
3 TBLS potato flakes (must be flakes)
Mix ingredients and place in a large
glass jar set in a nice sunny or
warm place for at least 4 hours.
Mixture will become foamy and you will
hear hissing from the lid of the jar.
Pour off 1 cup of the mixture.
At this point you can put this in another
glass jar and refrigerate both jars or
you can make some bread:
1 cup starter
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil....I have used olive, butter,
canola, safflower...it is all good
1 1/2 TBS salt
1/3 cup sugar
9 cups (at least) bread flour (yes, bread flour)
Mix together to form stiff dough and knead with
hands until smooth and elastic.
Place in a bowl oil the top and cover with
plastic wrap.
This can sit overnight in a warm place.
Next day punch down fashion two loaves and place
in greased/floured bread pans.
Bake at 400/425 degrees F for about 35 minutes.
Every time you want to make bread take the glass
jar from the fridge and Feed starter again:
1 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar
3 TBS potato flakes.
I have used this dough to make cinnamon rolls,
whole wheat and rye breads.
It is very versatile.
Good eating!
