Sourdough Starter & Bread
-MARY GEORGE (GVJN88B)
2 cup Skim milk
2 cup Bread flour
1 package Yeast


Place milk in a glass container and allow to stand at room
temperature for 24 hours. Stir in flour and yeast. Leave uncovered in
a warm place for 2-5 days, depending on how long it takes it to
bubble and sour. If it starts to dry out, stir in enough tepid water
to bring it back to the original consistency. Once it has a good sour
aroma and is full of bubbles, it is ready to use. Try to maintain
about 1 and 1/2 cups of starter. Each time part of the starter is
used,

replenish with a mixture of equal parts milk and flour. Leave at room
temperature several hours or overnight, or until it begins to fill
with bubbles. Then cover and store in refrigerator. Starter is best
if used at least once a week. If starter isn't, used for 2 or 3
weeks, spoon out and discard about half and replenish as described.
Given attention, a starter becomes more flavorful with age. Starter
can be frozen if it is not to be used for several weeks. This will
slow down yeast action and should be left at room temperature for 24
hours after thawing. Sourdough Bread: 2/3 cup skim milk 1 cup
sourdough starter 3 cups bread flour 2 Tbs.sugar 2 tsp. lite salt 1 &
1/2 tsp. yeast 2 Tbs. liquid Butter Buds Combine above thoroughly
(using half of the flour) and let stand uncovered to ferment
overnight in a warm place. Next morning, after the mixture has risen
and fallen, stir down any crust that may have formed. Add the rest of
the flour. When thoroughly mixed, turn out onto a board covered with
a little flour so it won't stick. Shape dough into 2 loaves, put into
bread pans, brush lightly with liquid Butter Buds, and let rise
covered until almost doubled in size. Bake in a pre-heated 400F. oven
45-50 minutes. Note: This recipe works GREAT in a bread machine.
Simply put all of the ingredients in the machine, adding the dry
ingredients first. Yields: 2 loaves (24 slices)

Diet tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to become thin and make improvements in your all round healthiness, then you really should decide on a specially configured balanced meal plan. In theory, this needs to include 5 portions of fruit & vegetables daily and also require a sensible proportion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

In planning a weight loss program, it is important to make efforts to cut down your intake of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.

When starting a weight loss program, people often direct your attention to chain store and branded food items claiming to be 'low in fat'. To do this is frequently a mistake, seeing that a food item may be very low in fats, but whilst still remaining contain far too much calories and carbohydrates.

Try drinking more water. Now and then when going through a busy work day, you fancy that you want to eat when really you simply want a cooling glass of water or orange juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, albeit one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is healthy.

Rather than paying too much attention to the many foods you ought to leave out of your dietary regime, focus on the recommended foods that you can bring into your weight loss program. If you bring in a few healthy grains, cereals and vegetables into your weight loss program, you will discover that you feel more full and have a much reduced likelihood of being seduced by those unwholesome afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
