First of all, I must tell you that there are many ideas of sourdough out there, if you want to learn different methods go ahead and experiment. This is the one that I stick to, because it works for me. With so many different ideas can confuse the smartest cook.
This recipe was taught to me by my Grandmother Alice (my dad's mother) You have to have a start first of all and then you are on your way. If times gets hard and you were able to save 1 tbls of yeast then you will be able to make hundreds and hundreds of loaves of bread from just your beginning start. (Note there are many different ways to start your start what I am giving to you is the way that I was taught)
Sourdough Starter
2 cup flour
2 cups warm water
1 pkg yeast or 1 tbls.
Mix thoroughly, let set over night. Store in frig until ready to use. After using starter replenish. If you take out 1 cup of starter replace with 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup flour. Let set over night in a jar, glass or plastic with lid just laying on the bottle. When it sets in the frig. It will separate and a yellowish liquid will come on the top. That is OK. When you get ready to make bread just stir it all together and start your process.
The tools that you should use are anything glass, crock, plastic, plastic spoon or wooden spoon. You should never use metal and it will have a negative reaction and cause your start to not work properly.
When you are ready to make bread you should in the evening combine:
1 cup starter
1 cup can milk, regular milk or mixed up powder milk (the can milk makes your bread richer)
1 cup warm water
2 cups of flour
(remember to replenish your start)
Cover bowl leave at room temp. over night. Next morning add 3 tbls oil, 2 eggs (opt.) stir up and add:
3 tbls sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
Mix well (but do not beat) add enough flour to make dough that you can handle with your hands. Put your dough out onto a floured counter and work in the flour until you can handle without it sticking to your hands. Next put your dough into a oiled bowl and cover to let it rise until double, be sure and set it into a warm location. then put in greased (or spray with pam) loaf pan. Let rise until. Bake 350 for 40 min.
This type of bread take a little longer to rise. So be patient and have fun!!
