STARTER
Here is a helpful site that will get the "dough" rolling for your starter.http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm
BREAD
1 cup starter
5 1/2-6 cups flour
1 Tbs dry yeast
1 1/2 cups of water
3 Tbs. sugar
3 Tbs. butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix 2 1/2 cups flour and yeast in bowl. Heat water, sugar, butter and salt until butter melts and add to dry mix. Add starter and beat on low for 30 seconds scraping bowl then beat on high for 3 minutes. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour with baking soda and add to yeast mixture. Stir in remaining flour until dough is firm. Shape into a ball and place in greased bowl turning once cover with wrap or clean towel. Let double (45 minutes). Punch down and divide in half. Let sit 10 minutes and form each into a ball. Place on grease baking sheet, score crisscross with sharp knife. Cover. Let rise until double (30 minutes). Bake in oven at 375* for 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks (important because you don't want the extra moisture on the bottom).
This is the only bread that my girls will eat the crust with! We just love it, but don't make it too much or else it won't be so good when we have it. Store in bag or air tight container. Freeze one if can't eat both fast enough. Goes moldy in one week. This is what the final product should look like.
