Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the Herman Starter, oil, 2 cups flour and salt; mix well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a loaf. Place into the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top of the loaf is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.

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:
- Use organic flour and water for the best results.
- Keep your starter in a warm place, around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Feed your starter regularly, once or twice a day.
- Discard half of the starter before each feeding to keep it healthy.
- Use a glass or ceramic container for your starter, as metal can interfere with the fermentation process.
- Cover your starter loosely with a lid or plastic wrap to allow for air circulation.
- Don't worry if your starter doesn't look active right away. It can take a few days or even weeks for it to develop a strong culture.
- Be patient and persistent. Sourdough starter takes time and care to develop, but it's worth the effort.
Conclusion:
Sourdough starter is a natural leavening agent that can be used to make a variety of delicious breads, pastries, and other baked goods. It's easy to make and maintain, and it adds a unique flavor and texture to your baked goods. If you're looking for a new way to bake, I encourage you to try sourdough starter. With a little time and effort, you'll be able to create delicious sourdough bread that your family and friends will love.
