Instructions
Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup water. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water, the flour and sugar or honey. Beat until smooth and well-blended. Cover with a plastic wrap and let stand for about 48hrs.
Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times each day. When properly fermented and (sour) it will be buffly on top. This might take up to a week,depending on humidity and room temperature. Store the starter in the refrigerator, cover with cheesecloth or a loose plastic wrap. Do not seal tightly as will blow lid off and make a mess in fridge.
When part of the starter is removed, add 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar or honey, stirring to blend well and let stand at room temperature until the fermentation is resumed.
Note: Don't worry about the lumps as will smooth out when ferments. The starter may be used and replenished indefinitely, and it improves with age.
