Sourdough Bread for the Bread Maker Machine

Submitted by Domajazz

"I decided to make my own Sourdough Recipe with rich Buttermilk, and I have entered this into my personal recipes. I developed this recipe which has worked out well from the 1st loaf, and just seems "fool-proof", and very tasty. Once your Sourdough is the flavor you like best, you can jar it and put it into the refrigerator in 10 ounce portions and use a complete jar each loaf you make in the breadmaker. VERY QUICK and SO EASY!"

 

• Ready In: 8mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 1 Loaf (1.5#)
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 10 ounces sourdough starter
• 4 -6 ounces warm water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 1⁄4 cups bread flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons yeast

directions

1. Spray your bread pan with Olive Oil spray and add ingredients in this order:

2. 10 ounces of Sourdough Starter.
3. 4-6 ounces (about ½ cup) Warm water (not hot).
4. ½ tsp salt.
5. 2 TBSP Sugar.
6. Once you have all these ingredients in bottom of pan add the flour on top and make a slight hole in the middle to add yeast and cover with flour
7. Don’t upset the wet ingredients with flour or yeast.
8. 3 ¼ cups BREAD Flour.
9. 1 ½ tsp Yeast (I have used BEER yeast in blocks you can get at some grocer’s, this is great too).

10. In Bread Maker Machine:

11. Bake as a normal (white) loaf with desired crust color.
12. I always check the blending to be certain it is not too wet or too dry – you can adjust with water or bread flour – you can even remove the (lump) from the breadmaker and hand knead for a minute on floured countertop.
13. There should be no problem for this dough to rise and cook nicely.
14. Lastly, once it’s DONE – be there to remove from pan ASAP. (If it sits the moisture in the breadmaker can deform loaf and make soggy.).
