Siegfried – the Birth is a simple starter that originated in Germany. This light and fluffy starter can be served plain or with assorted toppings giving it a unique flavor each time. Despite its simplicity, the starter is a delicious complement to many dishes. The starter's texture is similar to that of a pancake but its mild flavor makes it versatile and customizable according to one's preference.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, dry yeast and mix well.
2.	Slowly pour water, mixing continuously for 2-3 minutes until the batter has no lumps.
3.	Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and set it aside for 2 hours, letting the mixture rise.
4.	Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5.	Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until you have used all of the batter, leaving at least an inch of space between each one on the sheet.
6.	Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops of the starters are golden brown.

PROS

Siegfried – the Birth is an easy and quick starter to make.
The recipe only requires four ingredients and the starters are ready in just two hours after the batter rises.

CONS

The starters may not hold their shape well.
If too much batter is used per starter, they may flatten out and become pancakes instead of balls.

The batter rising time of 2 hours may be too long for some people who are short on time.
