Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup instant potato flakes
  • 1 cup warm water

Equipment

  • Glass jar or container with a lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and potato flakes.
  2. Add the warm water and mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into a glass jar or container with a lid.
  4. Loosely cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
  5. After 24 hours, you should see some bubbles and the mixture should have a slightly sour smell.
  6. Stir the mixture and discard half of it.
  7. Add 1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of warm water to the remaining mixture and mix well.
  8. Cover the jar and let it sit at room temperature for another 24 hours.
