class=\"tasty-recipes-instructions\">\n<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n<h4>Making and feeding the starter<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-1\">Combine the starter ingredients together, and let it sit out until the potato flakes rise.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Place the sourdough starter uncovered in the refrigerator and feed it every 5-7 days.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Feed the starter the night before you plan to bake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Once fed, let the starter sit out on the kitchen counter all day or overnight before you make your bread (at least 8 hours). It should begin to bubble or foam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Making sourdough bread<\/h4>\n<p>If your starter has begun to separate, then don\u2019t panic, as this is completely natural. Simply stir your starter so that the mixture fuses together, before adding it to the bowl.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">In a large mixing bowl, combine water, sugar, sourdough starter, oil, and 1 tablespoon of instant yeast. Leave this to rest for 10 minutes, or until the yeast becomes active and foamy.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Once the yeast is activated, add salt, and 5 cups of bread flour. Mix well, then slowly add the last cup of flour.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">The dough will be sticky, but should easily pull away from the bowl, and hold its shape.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Remove the dough from the bowl, and spray the dough with cooking spray. Place the dough back into the bowl to rest. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tea towel sprayed with cooking spray. This should prevent the dough from sticking once it has risen.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Once the dough has risen you need to shape the dough into your sourdough loaves. Divide the dough into 4 equal sizes, and shape them into a loaf, placing them in a greased pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Cover them with greased plastic wrap and place them in a warm spot to rise for 1-2 hours.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake these loaves for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Remove the loaves from the pans, and transfer the baked bread onto a cooling rack.

I felt tired all the time (especially after eating bread and other foods made with yeast), I wasn\u2019t motivated to do anything, had trouble concentrating throughout the day, my abdomen was bloated and I was like a trumpet on steroids \u2013 basically, I was quite a wreck.
