Starter

Mix the packet of yeast into the warm water and let sit for about ⏱️ 5 minutes until frothy.

Continue to mash around once a day for days 7-9. On the 10th day, your starter is ready for baking or gifting. Reserve 1 cup for baking, 1 cup for gifting. If you would like to keep the starter going, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk to the remaining starter and mix around. This starts the cycle over again and day 10 becomes day 1.
