Instructions
-
Mix the Ingredients: Begin by combining all of the ingredients in a non-metal bowl. It’s essential to avoid using metal bowls or utensils, as this can interfere with the yeast’s effectiveness.
-
-
Let It Rise: Once everything is mixed well, place the bowl in a warm location. Allow the mixture to rise until it has doubled in size, which may take a bit of time depending on the warmth of your environment.
-
Save for Next Time: After the mixture has risen, reserve about 1/3 cup of the mixture to serve as a starter for your next baking session.
-
Store Properly: Between uses, store the remaining yeast mixture in a covered jar in the refrigerator. Be sure to take it out a few hours before you’re ready to use it again to allow it to come to room temperature.
-
Replenish: When you’re ready to bake again, take the reserved starter and mix it with the same quantities of ingredients (except for the dry yeast) to refresh it for your next baking adventure.
-
Enjoy Baking: By maintaining this Everlasting Yeast starter and replenishing it each time you bake, you will be able to keep yeast readily available indefinitely, allowing for spontaneous baking whenever the mood strikes.
This Everlasting Yeast recipe not only provides a practical solution for keeping yeast on hand but also fosters a sense of connection to traditional baking methods. Enjoy the warmth and satisfaction of home-baked breads made from your very own everlasting yeast starter!
