Sourdough bread gets its flavor from a starter, which is what makes the bread rise. It's a mixture of yeast, flour, and water that develops its unique flavor over time. The starter needs five days before you can bake with it. Making the starter is simple, dissolve yeast in warm water, then add flour, honey or sugar and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it stand at room temperature, stirring a few times a day. After about five to 10 days, the dough will stop bubbling, which means it's ready to use.
