You can make your own sourdough starter using only flour, water and the 'air' in your environment. You do not need commercially sold yeast. Yeast in a living one-celled organism that is present in the air around you, (especially in the kitchen of a baker!). The yeast in the environment varies from region to region-thus San Francisco starter. Try checking the CulturesforHealth.com web page to buy specific starters and really great directions for sourdough and other cultured foods.
