Serves/Makes: 12 | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
***Starter***
1 package dry yeast
5 1/2 cups warm water
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons potato flakes (must be flakes)
***To Use***
1 cup starter
1 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
9 cups bread flour, or as needed
Directions:
For The Starter: 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:
To Use: Mix together to form stiff dough adding the flour in 1 cup increments 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 to 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 Tbsp potato flakes.
I have used this dough to make cinnamon rolls, whole wheat and rye breads it is very versatile. Good eating!
