Sourdough Bread from Scratch! Make your own Bread Starter.

Basic Natural Yeast Starter Recipe

From the lovely lady over at get-baking.com

Read the full article here.

You will need:
50g/2ozs/1/2cup Strong Bread Flour
Sufficient Water to make soft dough.
The same quantities of flour and water each time you refresh.
Making a 'natural' yeast starter is easy. All you require is flour - the food, water - moisture, sunlight - warmth, and TIME. Give the above mixture two or three days, (or longer if cold weather). When it has risen and collapsed back down, throw away 4/5ths of the mixture. Add more flour and water to the remaining 1/5th - to replenish the food source, (the same amount as above). Go on repeating this process and before long you will have an active sample of natural yeast.
