Instructions: Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in 1 cup warm water, sugar, and potato flakes.

Let the mixture sit out all day, then refrigerate 10 to 15 days. (A 10 day schedule works fine.) Remove from refrigerator and feed, see the feeding instructions below. Now you are ready to use 1 cup of the starter to make bread.

Return the rest of the starter to the refrigerator for another 5 to 10 days.

Before making your next batch of bread, feed the starter again.
