Step 1

In a medium bowl add the lukewarm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes then stir.

Step 2

Add the flour to the yeast and combine well, make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl.

Step 3

Move the starter to a clean bowl, cover with a towel, plastic wrap or place the lid on the jar without sealing it and let sit for 24 hours in a warm draft free area. Do not stir.

Step 4

After the 24 hours it should have risen and become very bubbly with a slight sour smell. And it is now ready to use for baking.
