| Bread Machine Sourdough
1 cup sourdough starter
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 T olive oil
1 tsp salt
3 cups bread flower
2 T sugar
1 T instant yeast
Note: Amount of water will depend on the thickness of your starter.
Process in your bread machine on DOUGH cycle. Remove and shape into loaf. (Mine got so big I could have split it into 2 loaves! Next time I will.) Allow to rise at least 1 hour--I let it go 1 1/4 hours. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
I tried this recipe yesterday. This is the HUGEST loaf of bread I've ever baked! For the rise I let it go 1 hour 15 minutes and it was over the top of the pan at that point. After a giant oven spring, it is SO big that I will have to cut the slices in half to toast it in the morning. Let's just say it was a good thing I already had lowered the oven rack for some other thing I baked last week. If I hadn't, there would have been a mess for sure.
This bread tasted really good and I'm sure the toast will be fantastic. Here's a picture of my huge loaf.
