Sourdough Bread #2 - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sourdough starter
2 1/2 c. unbleached flour
2 c. warm water

Preparation

Take 1 cup of sourdough starter out of the refrigerator and let it warm up for 24 hours.
Put 1 cup of starter in a large stoneware, glass or stainless steel bowl.
Add 2 cups warm water and blend in the flour.
If mixture appears lumpy or thick, fermentation will smooth it out.
Cover and let stand in a warm spot for at least 12 hours.
If you want a more sour taste, let mixture ferment for 2 or 3 days.
When the mixture is ready, save 1 cup.
This is your starter for the next batch; put it in the refrigerator.
