Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the water, white vinegar, and Greek yogurt to the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are at room temperature for optimal results.
Carefully add the bread flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it with the back of a knife. Spread it evenly over the liquids in the bread pan.
Sprinkle sugar and salt over the top of the flour, ensuring they do not come into contact with the liquid below.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. Be careful to keep the yeast away from the salt.
Secure the bread machine pan into place and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on your bread machine. If your machine has a crust color option, select 'Medium' or 'Dark' for a rustic sourdough look.
Press start and let the bread machine run through the kneading, rising, and baking cycles. The total time will vary depending on your machine’s settings but generally takes about 3.5 hours.
Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread pan from the machine and let it sit for 5 minutes before carefully turning the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your tangy, pseudo-sourdough bread. It pairs beautifully with butter, soups, or fresh spreads!
