Sourdough Bread For The Bread Maker Machine Recipes

BREAD MACHINE CRUSTY SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Make sourdough starter at least 1 week before making bread. In large glass bowl, dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast in warm water. Stir in 3 cups flour and 4 teaspoons sugar. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Cover loosely; let stand at room temperature about 1 week or until mixture is bubbly and has a sour aroma. Transfer to 2-quart or larger nonmetal bowl. Cover tightly; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Use sourdough starter once a week or stir in 1 teaspoon sugar. After using starter, replenish it by stirring in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon sugar until smooth. Cover loosely; let stand in warm place at least 1 day until bubbly. Cover tightly; refrigerate until ready to use. To use, stir cold starter; measure cold starter, and let stand until room temperature (starter will expand as it warms up).
• Measure 1 cup of the sourdough starter and all remaining bread ingredients carefully, placing in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycle. (Total time will vary with appliance and setting.) Remove baked bread from pan; cool on cooling rack.

BEST BREAD MACHINE SOURDOUGH

Steps:

• Put first 4 ingredients in bread machine and stir gently. (yes, this works...).
• Let sit for about 10 minutes. Starter should start to bubble a little.
• Add flour, then spread oil and salt evenly over the flour.
• Select basic course or following custom settings if your bread maker has them:.
• Custom settings for Zojirushi BB-CEC20: Preheat - 20 Minutes ( I start cycle after mixing first four ingredients then add remaining three ingredients after ten minutes), Knead - 20 minutes, Rise1 - 40 minutes, Rise2 - 40 minutes, Rise3 - OFF, Bake - 58 minutes Medium or Dark crust setting ( I use medium), Keep warm - OFF.
• Check a few minutes into kneading and add flour or water as needed to get a just slightly tacky dough that sticks to your fingers like a strong post it note and stretches smoothly without tears when kneading. Sourdough bread dough is a little gloopier then regular white bread.
• See directions for making a starter or order a starter online.
• Like all sourdough breads wait until at room temperature before cutting or insides will clump up and tear the insides out of the loaf.

SOURDOUGH BREAD FOR THE BREAD MAKER MACHINE

Steps:

• Spray your bread pan with Olive Oil spray and add ingredients in this order:.
• 10 ounces of Sourdough Starter.
• 4-6 ounces (about ½ cup) Warm water (not hot).
• ½ tsp salt.
• 2 TBSP Sugar.
• 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
• Don't upset the wet ingredients with flour or yeast.
• 3 ¼ cups BREAD Flour.
• 1 ½ tsp Yeast (I have used BEER yeast in blocks you can get at some grocer's, this is great too).
• In Bread Maker Machine:.
• Bake as a normal (white) loaf with desired crust color.
• 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.
• There should be no problem for this dough to rise and cook nicely.
• 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.).
