1 tbsp butter
flour as needed
butter
To make the started, mix 4 cups potato water and 4 cups flour. Set in a container in a warm, ventilated area to proof for 2 days. (This WILL smell sour!) To make the bread, use 2 cups of the starter and mix in ½ cup flour, baking soda, salt and 1 tbsp of butter. Slowly add more flour as needed to create a good dough consistency. (This varies depending on altitude or humidity). Leave dough to rise for one hour. Pre heat over to 400º. Place dough in a lightly greased loaf pan and brush the top with butter. Bake 2-3 minutes and lower the temperature to 350º. Bake until golden brown. (Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup water to starter mix to maintain the starter.)
