Series Description

In these three and a half minute color, videotaped programs, Beatrice Trum Hunter gives useful and helpful suggestions for working with natural foods -- ranging from how to grow bean sprouts, to how to make a party pizza, and how to fortify common foods to increase their value. Author of The Natural Foods Cookbook (1961) and The Natural Foods Primer (1972), Mrs. Hunter capsulizes her twenty years experience working with natural foods in these "mini how-to" programs. Series release date: April, 1973

Program Description

Beatrice Trum Hunter demonstrates two methods to make sourdough. The first and easiest is to take a bit of ordinary yeast bread dough, put it to rest in a crock for a few days, and it will become sourdough.

She then demonstrates how to make sourdough "from scratch," combining water, yeast and flour which, when stored in a crock for a few days will also become sourdough. Either of these, when added to ordinary bread dough, will give you a sourdough bread.
