Shortcut Sourdough Starter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for feeding starter
- 1/4 tsp. quick-rising yeast, such as Fleischmanns RapidRise
- Combine flour and yeast in nonreactive bowl; stir in 1 cup warm (110F) water.
- Cover bowl loosely, and set aside in temperate spot (72 to 74F) 12 hours.
- Starter should get bubbly and smell yeasty.
- Stir starter, then discard half.
- Stir 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup lukewarm water into starter.
- Cover.
- Feed starter in this manner, discarding half of starter, and stirring in 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup lukewarm water every 12 hours for 72 hours.
- Starter should be bubbly with pleasant sourdough aroma.
- (If aroma is faint or you want more pronounced sourdough flavor, feed starter another day to develop more flavor.)
