1   package active dry yeast

½  cup warm water

2   cups warm water

2   cups all-purpose flour

1   tablespoon granulated sugar

Mix yeast with the ½ cup warm water and sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes. Mix in 2 cups warm water and flour, cover and set in warm (not hot) place. Stir several times for several days.Starter should smell sour and have bubbles on the surface. It will take 5 to 10 days (fewer if it's warm weather, more if it's cool). When it's ready, put in a jar. Refrigerate.

As you use the starter, add ¾ cup each warm water and flour and 1 teaspoon sugar. Must be kept refrigerated.

This is a simple starter that is quick to make and which will keep on providing starter (as you replenish) for delicious rolls.

Recipe can also be used to make Cinnamon Bread by placing the rolls in three greased loaf pans.
