500ml water
4 tsp raw cane sugar

1. all ingredients into a clean bottle
2. shake or stir vigorously & leave aside for 3-4 days
3. shake or stir every 12-24 hours so that the top will not turn mouldy
4. when a lot of bubble appear, it is ready to use
5. strain & use or keep in fridge to use in another day

Active Apple Yeast water on the 3rd day,
ready for baking

What a marvelous and successful bake! I would add some apples and raisins to that loaf.Congratulations, Katie!

Katie Foong: Thank you. I will add apples & raisins for my next attempt. The oven spring was not very good but the crumbs was nice, Scoring may be a failure but I have a nice crust. On the whole quite happy with the bake. Thank you once again
