| Source | Georgia E. Faul |
| Prep time | 5 hours |
| 1 | Cup | water (FOR STARTER; warm) |
| 1 | Cup | flour |
| 3 | Tablespoon | honey |
| 1 | Cup | starter (from recipe above) |
| 1 | Cup | water (warm) |
| 3 | Cup | whole-wheat bread flour |
| 3 | Tablespoon | honey |
| 1⁄4 | Cup | raisins (optional) |
STARTER:
Let this set in glass container for about 3 days, until bubbly and sour.
FOR BREAD:
MIx sourdough starter and honey in water. Add 1c. flour and stir, mixing with electric mixer on low. This will save some kneading. Add rest of flour and mix and knead by hand until elastic. Take out 3/4c. and save as starter for next baking (store in refrigerator). Put bread in buttered pan, cover, keeping moist. :et rise in sunny spot or put pan in another larger pan with warm water. Let rise 5 hours. Bake on low heat at 300° for about 40 minutes.
Starter lasts well. I usually bake this once a week, but have left starter in refrigerator for several weeks.
