I had a long-held dream to make homemade bread with natural leaven. I think raisin yeast is the easiest, and most foolproof.

According to the season, I tried various fruit yeasts, but I like the deep aroma of raisin yeast best.

Boil all equipment to sterilize.
Use non-oil coated raisins, and rinse first. Recipe by nanacco

Steps

1

Put lightly rinsed raisins and water in a jar sterilized by boiling. Store the jar in a warm location indoors. ※ Do not seal the lid tightly. there is a chance the jar could explode. I recommend using a jar with a gasket you can remove while fermenting.
2

Refresh the air once a day by opening the lid, then gently shake.
3

【Day 2】 The water should turn raisin color. It will start to smell a bit like wine.
4

【Day 3】 The raisins should start to release bubbles, and will look whitish.
5

【Day 4】The raisins should all be floating, indicating that the yeast is done fermenting. The raisins should fizz.
6

【Strain】 Strain through sterilized gauze, then transfer to a jar sterilized by boiling. ※ Store in the refrigerator.
