BREAD MACHINE SOURDOUGH BREAD

It is indeed challenging to bake a sourdough bread.  

The procedure is long and tedious 

but the end result can be quite satisfying.  

Recently my nephew Kenneth 

came with a freshly baked sourdough loaf.  

Its nutty smell 

and the sweet sour taste of the bread 

keeps linger in my mind. 

Finally I decided to try his recipe which he gladly shared...

To bake a sourdough bread we need to make the sourdough starter at least one week ahead!  

Here is the recipe for 

easy sourdough starter

BREAD MACHINE SOURDOUGH BREAD

  77g sourdough starter

200g water

260g bread flour

120g stoneground wholewheat flour

2 Tbsp sugar

1.5 tsp salt

1 tsp dry yeast

Method:

1) make a sourdough starter at least one week ahead

2) weigh & use starter 8-10 hours after feeding

3) place all ingredients in bread machine

4) select BASIC. Do not use delay cycle

5) remove baked bread from pan, cool on wire rack

Note:

1) This bread is not very sour but it has the nutty flavour of the              sourdough starter

2)The amount of sourdough starter used can be adjusted to individual taste.If you add 2 Tbsp more of the sourdough, you need to reduce 1 Tbsp water & 1 Tbsp flour from the recipe.
