This is a basic recipe for a sourdough starter that is made from the yeast that naturally occurs on grains. You can always buy or obtain natural starter from the web or your friends, but with patience you can create your own. You will need to let your starter develop for at least 7-10 days before you plan to bake. There are many health benefits to eating natural Sourdough breads or even breads with a longer fermentation. The yeast and lactic bacteria present in the dough break down starches and allow us to get more of the goodness from the grain. Sourdough bread is lower on the Glycemic index and possibly easier to digest for people with a low gluten tolerance. It is easier to develop a starter with flour that has had the least amount of processing. So using an organic unbleached or whole grain flour should work best.

*A note about turkey bacon: Earth Fare brand and Applegate Farm's have great ham-like t.bacon that works wonderfully. These are the only two that I have tried that don't gross me out.
*Wilt fresh spinach into the pepper/onion/bacon mix after it's nearly done cooking. That's good too!
