Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ⅓ | cup | Warm water; (100F) |
| ⅓ | cup | Flour |
| ½ | teaspoon | Yeast; granulated |
| pinch | Sugar | |
| 1 | Whole onion | |
Directions
Get a good, fresh onion (I have used white, yellow, red, and those cute little pearl onions). Peel it & cut it into a manageable-sized piece.
In a jar, mix about ⅓ c. warm water (about 100 deg.), ⅓ c. flour, ½ tsp. granulated yeast (to get it going), a *pinch* of sugar (just a bit--you want to let all that sugar in the onion do the majority of the work!). Mix this all this stuff up til it's good & smooth.
Take a piece of cheese cloth, wet it with lukewarm water and wrap the onion piece in it; tie with a string & put it in the flour mixture. Just take care of this like any starter (stirring every day, etc.). At the end of 1-2 weeks (depending on how it's coming along), discard the onion. This makes great sourdough onion dill bread!
