Simple Sourdough Bread
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter
  • 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
Instructions
1
Combine all the ingredients in a bread machine using the Manual setting, which typically involves two mixing cycles of around 15-20 minutes with a one-hour rising interval in between.
2
Transfer the dough to a lightly dusted surface, shaping it into a single round loaf. Position the loaf on an oiled and cornmeal-sprinkled baking surface, covering it with a cloth to allow it to rise in a warm environment until nearly double its original size, approximately 40 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
4
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color and produces a hollow sound when tapped. Allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack.
