"Men" is the Vietnamese word for yeast, and it's also the
name of my cat. I was inspired by a baker who told me that she had to feed
her yeast every day in order for it to grow into actual breads.
"What a perfect name for my white baby"
I thought to myself.
But today we're here to learn how to make yeast from grain aka a
sourdough starter.
Ingredients
1 1/4 C unbleached all-purpose flour or milled wheat berries
1 C clean warm water
1 sterile jar with cheesecloth or lid
Instructions
Mix the flour and warm water, and keep it at room temperature.
After several days, the mixture will start to bubble and will begin to
rise.
Keep your starter in the refrigerator when not in use. Use as you would
any sourdough starter.
