Recipe of Potato yeast and flour

Yeast is the heart of any good bread, and this homemade potato and flour version is a simple and natural option for achieving loaves with a fluffy crumb and a slightly sweet, earthy flavor. This recipe uses the potato cooking water, rich in starches and nutrients that feed the wild yeasts present in the environment and in the flour, creating a bubbly, living culture.

Who is it ideal for?

It is perfect for home bakers who want to experiment with natural fermentation without complications, and for those seeking a mild ferment that does not add the typical acidity of a traditional sourdough starter. It is also an excellent way to use a kitchen byproduct and reduce waste.

How is it used?

This fresh yeast is incorporated directly into the bread dough, replacing part of the liquid and commercial yeast. It is recommended to prepare it the night before, as it needs to rest in a warm place until it is foamy and active. If it does not show bubbles, you can repeat the process with a little more sugar or flour.

In summary, this potato and flour yeast is a versatile tool that adds depth of flavor and a unique texture to your breads, especially rustic loaves.
