Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tb Active Dry Yeast
1 c Sourdough starter
1 1/4 c Water-Lukewarm
4 1/2 c Bread flour (I used some whole wheat pastry flour)
1/3 c raw Sugar
Melted Earth Balance
3/4 tsp seaSalt ~note to self, STOP forgetting the SALT!!!

Steps:

If you desire dissolve the yeast in warm water with a little sugar till bubbly. Sourdough is a yeast but risesfaster with added commercial yeast. In a large mixing bowl add sugar, salt, sourdough starter, yeast and flour. Cover; set in warm spot and let rise until double. Punch down and turn out onto floured work surface. Pat out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter. (or the sawed off bottom half of a blue sake bottle) Dip both sides in butter or oil, and place on well-greased baking sheet. Let rise 15 min. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. (the original recipe called for 425F, but mine got too brown on top too quickly)
