Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams sourdough starter
- 240 milliliters warm water
- 450 grams bread flour
- 7 grams salt
- 10 grams sugar
- 15 grams unsalted butter
Instructions
Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning. Feed it 4-6 hours prior to use if it's been stored in the fridge.
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this is: water, sourdough starter, sugar, butter, flour, and salt on top.
Select the basic or white bread program on your bread machine with a medium crust setting, if available. Start the machine.
Check the dough after the first 5-10 minutes of kneading. The dough should form a soft, slightly sticky ball. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time. If it’s too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
Allow the bread machine to complete its full cycle, which will include kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the bread is finished, carefully remove the pan from the machine and turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
