Steps:
- In large non-metallic bowl, mix together dry yeast, 2 cups warm water, and 2 cups all purpose flour and cover loosely.
- Leave in a warm place to ferment, 4 to 8 days. Depending on temperature and humidity of kitchen, times may vary. Place on cookie sheet in case of overflow. Check on occasionally.
- When mixture is bubbly and has a pleasant sour smell, it is ready to use. If mixture has a pink, orange, or any other strange color tinge to it, THROW IT OUT! and start over. Keep it in the refrigerator, covered until ready to bake.
- When you use starter to bake, always replace with equal amounts of a flour and water mixture with a pinch of sugar. So, if you remove 1 cup starter, replace with 1 cup water and 1 cup flour. Mix well and leave out on the counter until bubbly again, then refrigerate. If a clear to light brown liquid has accumulated on top, don't worry, this is an alcohol base liquid that occurs with fermentation. Just stir this back into the starter, the alcohol bakes off and that wonderful sourdough flavor remains! Sourdough starters improve with age, they used to be passed down generation to generation!
- Use this starter to make the Sourdough Chocolate Cranberry Cake, and the Sourdough Chocolate Cake.

Tips for Making Sourdough Starter
- Use organic, unbleached all-purpose flour. Avoid bleached or bromated flours, as they can inhibit the growth of wild yeast and bacteria.
- Use filtered or spring water. Tap water may contain chlorine or other chemicals that can kill wild yeast and bacteria.
- Keep your starter in a warm place. The ideal temperature for sourdough starter is between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
- Feed your starter regularly. The more you feed your starter, the more active it will become. Aim to feed your starter at least once a day, or every other day at the most.
- Store your starter properly. When you're not using your starter, store it in the refrigerator. This will slow down the fermentation process and help to keep your starter healthy.
