My latest effort in sourdough breadmaking is enough like Cracker Barrel's bread that I won't need to buy theirs anymore.
This is a bread machine recipe.
About 8 hours before you want to bake, take your starter out of the refrigerator and toss a pinch of sugar in there, and then stir. Cover loosely. Stir the starter again just before using it.
Put in your bread machine pan:
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup starter
2 1/2 TBL oil (I use light olive oil)
1 tsp salt
2 TBL sugar
3 cups flour
Use the dough cycle. Shape the dough and place in an oiled loaf pan. Allow to rise at least 2 hours.
Bake at 375 for 35 minutes.
So you don't need to add any more yeast other than what is in the starter?

ReplyDeleteCorrect. If your starter is potent, that will be plenty.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I'm making it for the second time today. I did double the sugar because I wanted it a little more sweet - like the Cracker Barrel bread. The first one was a hit with the family, so I'll see how this one does.
