Instructions

For the Starter

  • Pour the warm water into a small glass measuring cup. Sprinkle the yeast over the water along with a pinch of sugar. Let this stand for 5-8 minutes to allow it to dissolve.
    1/4 Cup Warm Water,2 ? teaspoons Yeast,1 Cup Sugar
  • In a larger glass bowl (or plastic bowl), mix together the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and then the yeast mixture.
    1 Cup All-Purpose Flour,1 Cup Sugar,1 Cup 2% Milk
  • Once the mixture is bubbly, pour it into a gallon-size ziploc plastic bag and seal. Set aside on the counter. Do not refrigerate. Allow the sourdough mixture to sit out at room temperature.
  • Write the schedule in marker on the bag.
    This counts as Day 1.
  • Day 2: Mash the bag.
  • Day 3: Mash the bag.
  • Day 4: Mash the bag.
  • Day 5: Mash the bag.
  • Day 6: Add 1 cup of flour, sugar and milk. Mash the bag until it is mixed well.
    1 Cup All-Purpose Flour,1 Cup 2% Milk,1 Cup Sugar
  • Day 7: Mash the bag.
  • Day 8: Mash the bag.
  • Day 9: Mash the bag.
  • Day 10: Pour the sourdough into a glass (or other nonmetal) bowl. Add 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup 2% milk. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
  • Divide out 1 cup portions of the starter, placing each one-cup portion in separate ziploc plastic bags.
  • You¡¯ll get about 3-4 bags. Seal the bags, and give the starter away to friends along with the instructions, keeping one for yourself if desired. The starter then goes back to Day 1.

  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, folding so as to not toughen the bread.

    1/2 Cup Cinnamon Sugar
  • Bake for 1 hour or until the a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
