SANDRA’S ALASKA SOURDOUGH STARTER (HOW TO...)

1-1/2 cups of starter sufficiently bubbly
and ready to use in my
Sweet Sourdough Zucchini Bread

with a Glazed Topping... 
Initially Yields: (4 cups)

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups warm water

METHOD

Using a wooden spoon (not metal), stir the mixture in a medium glass bowl until smooth.  Pour the mixture into a glass quart-size mason jar, and cover with plastic wrap securing with a rubber band.  Place in a warm area atop a kitchen towel for 48 hours while gently stirring a couple of times per day.  Move container to refrigerator. 

To use starter, remove amount called for in recipe, and let sit covered in a glass container, covered, overnight to come to room temperature and become bubbly.

Meanwhile, replenish your sourdough starter with equal amounts of flour and warm water, i.e., 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup warm water; stir with wooden spoon, cover, and let stand in warm place until bubbly, for about 3 to 5 hours, then refrigerate.

I’ll be posting recipes using my sourdough starter as time allows. ~ Enjoy!

Tips:  I ordered my *Sourdough Starter Packet from the Alaska Herb and Tea Company a couple of months ago, and I’m pulling out my old recipes now that I have a batch active again.

SANDRA'S DRY RUB SEASONING BLEND

This is great to rub on any meat
that you intend to grill
or roast...
INGREDIENTS

6 tablespoons brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

METHOD

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.

Store in a “labeled” airtight container in your pantry (I usually make a large batch so it is always handy). 

This is great on a pork shoulder, or any roast, or cut of meat if you place it in the refrigerator overnight before roasting or grilling.

TIP: When using dry spices place in palm first and rub with finger to activate oils before adding to recipes.
