Recipe - Onion Sourdough Starter

1/3 cup Warm water; (100F)
1/3 cup Flour
One half teaspoon Yeast; granulated
pn Sugar
1 Whole onion

Get a good, fresh onion (I have used white, yellow, red, and those cute
little pearl onions). Peel it & cut it into a manageablesized piece.

In a jar, mix about 1/3 c. warm water (about 100 deg.), 1/3 c. flour, 1/2
tsp. granulated yeast (to get it going), a *pinch* of sugar (just a
bityou want to let all that sugar in the onion do the majority of the
work!). Mix this all this stuff up til it's good & smooth.

Take a piece of cheese cloth, wet it with lukewarm water and wrap the onion
piece in it; tie with a string & put it in the flour mixture. Just take
care of this like any starter (stirring every day, etc.). At the end of 12
weeks (depending on how it's coming along), discard the onion. This makes
great sourdough onion dill bread!
