A Recipe for
Emeril's Sourdough Starter
Herb Tip |
“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
You are what you eat. For example, if you eat garlic you're apt to be a hermit. |

In a large glass bowl stir flours and water together with a spoon.
Cover with a kitchen towel. Set aside to ferment at room temp for 2
to 3 days. It will begin to smell sour, but not in an unpleasant way.
Stir in 2/3 cup flour and 1/2 cup water, cover and continue to
ferment at room temp. Refresh starter in this way every day for 3
days. It will become sharper and more pungent as it sits. When it is
sharp enough for you, begin using it to bake with. After using the
amount of starter you need, the remaining starter should be
refrigerated. Let it come to room temp each time you use it.
