Sourdough bread is a beloved staple for bread lovers. Making your own sourdough starter from scratch can be a daunting task, but using potato flakes can simplify the process. This recipe uses potato flakes to create a natural and tangy sourdough starter that can be used for a variety of bread recipes.
Prep Time
Preparation time for this recipe is minimal. You will need to allow for 5-7 days for the starter to develop fully, but actual prep time is only about 15 minutes.
Cook Time
There is no cook time for this recipe, as it is for a sourdough starter only.
Ingredients
1 cup of warm water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
2 cups of potato flakes
1 cup of warm water
Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Whisk
Airtight container
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast.
Whisk the mixture together until the sugar and yeast have dissolved.
Add 2 cups of potato flakes to the bowl and mix well.
Add another cup of warm water and mix until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and place in a warm place for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, stir the mixture and discard half of it.
Add another cup of warm water and 2 cups of flour to the mixture and stir well.
Cover the bowl and place it back in a warm place for another 24 hours.
Repeat this process (discarding half and adding 1 cup of warm water and 2 cups of flour) for the next 3-4 days.
After 5-7 days, your sourdough starter should be ready to use in your favorite bread recipe.
Notes
It is important to use warm water throughout this recipe to help activate the yeast. The potato flakes will give your sourdough starter a unique flavor and texture, but if you prefer a more traditional starter, you can substitute the potato flakes for equal parts flour.
