Dough Starter or Making More Yeast

Dough Starter or Making More Yeast

My grandma taught me to keep starter from dough. She called it "making more yeast".

She taught me to save about a golf-ball sized bit of bread dough, flatten it out into a thin disk, cover it with a towel and let it dry out, turning over frequently.

To make more bread, you soften this in water and add a little flour and a pinch of sugar, then take it from there. I admit that I've never tried it, but I will someday.
