Drying and reconstituting sourdough starter

Yield: 1 Instructio

Measure Ingredient

DRYING SOURDOUGH STARTER: Use a cookie sheet with a lip. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the cookie sheet so in effect you have a "plastic pan". Pour ½ cup of starter evenly over plastic. It should be a thin layer. Place on top of refrigerator for 1-½ days. Peel pieces of dried starter off of plastic and turn over to continue drying other side ½ day. Be sure starter is thoroughly dry or it will mold or spoil.

When starter is dry put pieces in a blender or food processor and process until it looks like coarse flour. Store in an airtight container until needed.

RECONSTITUTING STARTER: Add one cup of water, ½ cup flour and 1 tsp.

sugar to dry starter in a plastic or glass container and follow directions for any starter use. It takes about 24 hours for starter to activate.
