¼cupwarm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

Cooking Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
-
Combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar in a 2-quart container (glass, plastic, or ceramic); mix thoroughly. Stir in 1 cup milk and yeast mixture. Cover the container loosely and leave at room temperature until bubbly. This is day 1 of the 10-day process.
-
Days 2 through 4: Stir starter with a spoon. Day 5: Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Days 6 through 9: Stir starter with a spoon.
-
Day 10: Stir in remaining 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Remove 1 cup starter to make your first bread. Give 2 cups starter to friends (1 cup each) along with this recipe and your favorite Amish bread recipe. Store remaining 1 cup starter in a container in the refrigerator or begin the 10-day process over again (beginning with step 2).
Editor’s Notes:
Once you have made the starter, you will consider it day 1, so you can ignore step 1 in this recipe and proceed with step 2. You can also freeze the starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter will take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.
