Instructions for using Sharon's starter: Mix contents of Sharon'Sourdough
Starter Mix with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 cup hot water. Place mixture in
a container with a loose-fitting lid and set in the refrigerator until ready
to use. (OR use your own starter; I won't guarantee the results).
Morning #1: Feed starter with the following: 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 Tbsp.
potato flakes, and 1 cup of hot water. Cover and set on counter all day.
Evening: Mix the following in a large bowl: 1 and 1/2 tsp. salt,
1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup starter (mixed well), and 1 1/2
cups hot water. Thoroughly stir in 3 cups of bread flour. Add 2 more cups
of bread flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour. Mix well. Turn dough into
large well-oiled bowl. Turn dough to cover with oil. Cover with lid or
plastic wrap and let rise in warm place overnight.
Morning #2: Punch dough down and knead lightly in bowl for about 1
minute. Cut dough into 3 equal portions. Place each portion into a well-oiled
medium bread pan. Cover with towel and let rise in warm place until dough
rises above rim of pan. (This could take from 3 to 6 hours or more.) Bake
in 350 degree oven on bottom rack for 25 minutes. Remove from oven; allow
to cool in pan 5 minutes; remove, slice with electric knife.
Sharon'Sourdough Starter Mix is available from Country Chalet:
1 package for $5.00; 2 for $8.00 (add $1.00 for shipping, please). The
starter will last a long time when used properly, and will help you make many,
many loaves of delicious breads and rolls.
