This is a variation of "Amish Friendship Bread"
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 2 cups bottled water (our water is chlorinated-if you have well water you don't need bottled)
• 2 cups unbleached white flour
PREPARATION:
Mix it all together in a non metal container (I had earthenware container I used), cover lightly w/plastic, and leave alone in a warm place (70-75 degrees though room temp is ok) for a 2-3 days. It'll start foaming and have a sour (though not offensive) yeasty smell.

At this point, move it to the fridge. It needs to be fed twice a week.
Use or discard 2 cups of the starter and add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 cups of water to the original bowl. Stir, cover, return to the fridge. You can use it after it's a few days old though it will develop a more sourdoughish flavor after a few weeks. If it turns funky colors or starts growing mold, discard it and start over. If your starter fails to "start" (it doesn't foam or bubble), try a different brand or batch of yeast.
