No-Commercial-Yeast-Starter Sourdough Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup lukewarm water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• Oil, for greasing

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the lukewarm water, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
2. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it sit in a warm place for 8-12 hours. The mixture should become bubbly and smell sour.
3. When the mixture is ready, grease a 9-inch round cake pan with oil. Pour in the mixture and spread it evenly in the pan.
4. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let it sit for another 8-12 hours.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
6. Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.
