a challah is light and fluffy b/c of the yeast. it's def. not going to be like that.

you can try soda bread. My mother makes it when we go away and its pretty good. google soda bread or irish soda bread. It's usually milchig but you can sub something for the milk. Or try googling vegan soda bread.

here is a recipe for sourdough challah

16 cups flour
2-3 Tbsp salt
mix together

61/2 cups warm water
3/4 -1 cup honey
1/2 cup oil

sourdough starter

kneed the dough really well cover with plastic and leave in warm place or oven with the light on for 24 hours

after it rises shape and let it rise again for 1-2 hours

bake @ 350 for 1 hour.

the sourdough starter is a piece of dough from a previous batch. when I made the challah I got a piece from my neighbor. I think you can make the starter yourself but I am not sure how.

I wouldn't mind non commercial yeast but a starter would take a month to grow on my counter...

I am pretty sure it doesnt have yeast. it is natural fermentation

I made my own starter = natural yeast. That's what it is: capturing the yeast from the air.

Here's a link to a sourdough starter recipe:

As previously stated by others, sourdough contains wild yeast.

BTW, my father Z"L was allergic to yeast but he was able to tolerate most sourdough breads.

here is a 3 day starter that can be made in the fridge, so it is safe from a food saftey perspective, and no bugs or mice can come in from lovely brooklyn apartments....

Here is a safe starter recipe (and the one I am successfully using):

1 package active dry yeast

2 cups warm water (105 – 115 degrees Fahrenheit)

2 cups sifted flour

1 tablespoon sugar

Soften yeast in warm water in large glass bowl. Stir in flour and sugar, beating until smooth. Let stand in a warm place (85 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 36 hours, stirring occasionally. The starter can be refrigerated immediately after preparing it. However, the time required for fermentation before it can be used will be about 72 hours. Stir well just before using. Pour out the amount of starter needed; replenish remaining starter by adding 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water per cup of starter used. Beat well. Let stand in warm place until bubbly. Place in covered jar or glass bowl for later use.
