Sourdough Bread III
Description
A simple sourdough bread recipe for the bread machine. You will need to have your own sourdough starter on hand.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
•
3 tablespoons wheat germ
•
3 tablespoons sugar
•
1 tablespoon salt
•
4 cups bread flour
•
1 1/2 cups sourdough starter
•
3 tablespoons margarine, softened
•
1 cup milk
•
1 tablespoon cornmeal
Directions
1
Mix all ingredients in a bread machine using the Manual cycle. That's usually two mix cycles of approximately 15 to 20 minutes with the rise cycle between them of about an hour.
2
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Form the dough into a single round loaf. Place the loaf on a baking stone or baking sheet which has been lightly oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover loaf and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
3
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
4
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool on a wire rack.
