Cheese Danish
ANSWER Blanche Holenbaugh, Carlisle, wanted to
know how to start yeast to bake bread. Thanks to a reader for
sending a recipe for this plus answers to many other ques
tions. Unfortunately no name is attached so I can not give cre
dit. This recipe is the way that old-time homesteaders make
yeast.
Mix together:
1 cup mashed potatoes
% cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup warm water
Pour the mixture into a 1 quart glass jar, cover with cloth
and leave in a warm place for two days or until it ferments and
bubbles up. One cup of this mixture is equivalent to one pack
age of active dry yeast or one cake compressed yeast. Every
time you use acupful, replenish the starter by stirring in V* cup
flour and % cup potato water, water, or milk. Allow to ferment
for a day or so and return, covered, to the refrigerator. It is best
to use the starter once a week. If you do not, stir it down after
three or four weeks, discard half of it and replenish the
balance with flour and one of the liquids.
