Sourdough bread isn't the same as standard bread. It is a lot more delicious and because the sourdough starter has the ability to reduce down the gluten, a lot of folks who are glucose intolerant are able to eat sourdough bread made with wheat flour. Another huge advantage of baking sourdough bread machine recipes is the fact that they can be stored for a long period of time. Here's an easy sourdough bread machine recipe you can make from scratch and enjoy at home.
What you will need:
- Bread machine flour or wheat flour - three and a half cups
- Coarse-grained sugar - 2 tablespoons
- Active bread machine yeast - two and a quarter teaspoons
- Salt - two (2) teaspoons (this regulates the rising of the bread)
- Warm fresh milk - three quarter (3/4) cups
- Butter (softened) - one and a half (1 1/2) tablespoons
- Home-made sourdough starter - 1 cup (recipe given below)
Preparation:
- Clean out your bread baking machine and check the settings. Mark the settings on basic bread cycle and the sort of crust you like for your bread.
- In the clean bread pan, mix 1 cup of the flour, sugar, salt and yeast (do not use the warming cycle).
- While the cycle is still running, carefully add the milk and softened butter.
- While the machine is still running, add the prepared sourdough starter.
- Now add the rest of the flour (do not mix) and close the lid of the bread pan, then let the machine run for its full cycle.
- After the bread is finished baking, leave it to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Sourdough starter: The sourdough starter needs to be at least one week old before you use it. Since it doesn't go bad, it can be stored in the fridge. Below is an easy recipe for sourdough starter you can make at home.
What you will need:
- All-purpose flour - two (2) cups
- Sugar - two teaspoons
- Dry active yeast - 1 packet
- Warm water - 1 cup (115F)
Method:
- Mix the yeast with the warm water and let it rest for a while 'til you get a frothy liquid.
- You will need a deep glass jar to hold the mix in since the starter rises over time.
- In the jar, mix the flour together with the sugar then mix in the yeast.
- Cover the jar with a cheesecloth or cling wrap and allow it to ferment at least overnight.
- Stir the starter at least 3 times daily and you will know it is ready to use when the bubbling stops.
- You can put the starter in the fridge when it begins fermenting.
- Before using the starter, measure out 1 cup and let it come to room temperature before using.
- The level of the sourdough bread's sourness will depend on the number of days of fermentation and the temperature of the starter.
This sourdough bread can be served with soups, salads and gravy mixes.
