Sourdough Starter   1 package active dry yeast 2 1/2 cups lukewarm water [110 degrees] 3 cups flour   Combine yeast, water, and flour in glass or plastic (not metal) bowl. Beat until smooth. Cover with towel; let stand at room temperature 48 hours, stirring down twice. Mixture should bubble and smell slightly sour. Store extra starter, tightly covered, in refrigerator. To keep starter going for future use, save at least 1 cup starter and add 1 cup water and 1 cup flour. Let stand, loosely covered at room temperature, until it bubbles (about 1 hour); refrigerate tightly covered.
