Ingredients:
2 cupRye flour
1 tbspYeast
1 1/2 cupLukewarm water
Onion slice optional
Procedures:
1In a glass or ceramic bowl, or jar that has been scalded, combine flour and yeast, add water and blend well.
2Add onion slice, cover with platic wrap and pierce plastic with fork to release gases.
3Place in a warm, draft-free place, at an even 85f for 3 days.; stir several times daily.
4Remove onion slice and refrigerate until ready to use.
5Onion imparts a strong flavor and this starter can only be used with compatible rye recipes; rye starter without onion can be used in any rye sourdough recipe.
6To replenish, always use rye flour.
7If starter does not seem bubbly after replenishing and standing 12 hrs, sprinkle 1 t yeast over and stir in well.
8Like whole wheat starter, you may have to plan longer rising times for dough made with this one.
