HERMAN SOURDOUGH STARTER



Herman Sourdough Starter image

This is a recipe for a sweet sourdough starter known as Herman. There are a number of things that can be made from it. It's very important to NOT use metal utensils or bowls! It will take 15 days for the starter to mature and be ready to use the first time you make it. After that it can be ready for use every 10 days.

HERMAN STARTER



Herman Starter image

This is a recipe for the yeast starter affectionately called "Herman." It's kept in your fridge and fed every five days. I'll be entering more recipes for Herman as time permits, so come back and search every once in a while!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 5m

Yield 1 bowl of starter, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • combine all ingredients to a smooth batter in a 2-quart glass or ceramic container (no metal). Cover with cheesecloth or other loose covering, and keep in a warm place (around 80 degrees F) for 3 to 4 days to ferment. It should expand and bubble. When ready it should have a yeasty, slightly sour smell.
  • At this point, this is Herman's "First Day" in the ten-day cycle of Herman Life. He's ready for his first feeding.
  • Feeding Herman: Mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir this into Herman, cover loosely, and place in the fridge. It will be lumpy. Stir daily (but if you forget a day, he'll be fine).
  • In five days, you'll need to feed him again. (Day 5).
  • In five more days (Day 10), you'll feed him again and/or use him to make something. Pay attention to the specific recipe to see whether you feed him just before making the item or afterwards.
  • Herman can be used for biscuits, coffeecake, pancakes, cookies, banana bread, sweet rolls, and more. I believe the recipes I have have been handed down from one Herman owner to another for decades. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

- To achieve the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This includes using fresh milk, eggs, and butter, as well as high-quality flour and sugar. - Make sure to activate the yeast properly before using it. This means dissolving it in warm water with a little bit of sugar and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. - Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the rolls a chewy texture. - Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours. - When shaping the rolls, make sure to roll them out evenly and tightly. This will help to prevent them from becoming lopsided or misshapen. - Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a golden brown crust and a soft, fluffy interior. - Let the rolls cool slightly before glazing them. This will help to prevent the glaze from becoming too runny.

Conclusion:

These sweet rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are soft, fluffy, and have a delicious cinnamon sugar filling. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily create these rolls at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above and you will be sure to impress your friends and family with your baking skills.
