How to Make a Potato Yeast Starter
Yeast has a fantastic ability to transform dough into fluffy bread. This tiny, single-celled organism is a living thing that takes sugar and starch and transforms it into carbon dioxide and alcohol. We’re used to picking up little packets or even jars of baker’s yeast at the grocery store. But this key ingredient can get expensive and sometimes hard to find. But you can replace your baker’s yeast with wild yeast. All you need is a potato and water, and you can make a potato yeast starter.
