Description
From red star yeast. I have not tried this, but with the interest in gluten-free recipes, i thought this would be of interest. The red star yeast people say you must use active dry yeast – instant yeast apparently does not work in gluten-free recipes. They state that this will get tangier as it gets older.
Ingredients
- Water
- Active Dry Yeast
- Rice Flour
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a 4-cup container
- It will be thick
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and let stand for one to three days in a warm place, stirring 2 or 3 times daily
- The starter will rise and fall during the fermentation process
- When it is developed it will be bubbly and may have developed a layer of hooch – a liquid on top of the starter, which can be stirred back in
- Use or refrigerate
- Replenishing: always have at least one cup of starter left over
- Add 1 cup water and 1 1 / 2 cup white rice flour
