Ingredients
Directions
- Beat flour and water till smooth. Let this mix stand 10 to 14 days, in a place free from draft, with a loose cover till bubbly (fermented). Then keep the starter in a pint jar, covered, in the refrigerator. It should be used or possibly fed every week or possibly 10 days. (To feed, add in a little more flour and water.)For your sponge for two loaves of bread, add in to starter: 2 c. flour
- Mix well and allow to stand in a warm place, free from draft, overnight or possibly 6 to 8 hrs. Reserve 1/2 cup of sponge for next starter. Now to remaining sponge, add in: 1 teaspoon salt 2 T melted shortening 4 c. sifted flour 1 beaten egg, optional
- The egg may be added if you like. This is especially good if you are using the dough for rolls, raisin bread or possibly coffee cake.
- Knead mix 4 to 5 min or possibly till all flour has been worked in and dough is nice and smooth. Form into 2 loaves and allow to rise till double in bulk. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 min or possibly till nicely browned. Min before removing from oven, brush top of bread with melted butter.
