Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Water ((warm) - 237 milliliters)
  • 1/2 Cup Sourdough Starter
  • 4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (- 60 milliliters)
  • 2 1/2 Cups Bread Flour (- 300 grams)
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour (- 58 grams)
  • 1 Tablespoon White Granulated Sugar (- 13 grams)
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt (- 6 grams)
  • 1 Teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast (- 3 grams)

Directions

  1. 1

    Settings - Basic Bread, Light Color & 2 lbs.

  2. 2

    Unplug your bread machine.

  3. 3

    Remove the bread pan from the bread machine (so when you add the ingredients, they can not accidentally spill into the machine).

  4. 4

    Measure the sourdough starter and stir out any bubbles (if you can). This helps to make the volume more consistent (versus including the volume of "empty" bubbles).

  5. 5

    Pour the water, sourdough starter & oil into the bread pan first and then add the other ingredients.

  6. 6

    Put the bread pan with ingredients back into unplugged bread machine.

  7. 7

    Plug in bread machine. Enter the correct settings (basic bread, light color & 2 lbs) and press the "start" button.

  8. 8

    When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine.

  9. 9

    Take out the bread pan and remove the bread from the bread pan. Place the bread on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan as it will be very hot!

    Optional – Right after you remove the hot bread from the bread pan and place it on the cooling rack, you can use a pastry brush to brush 1 tablespoon of melted butter on the top of the bread. This creates a more golden crust and adds even more buttery flavor. This works best when the bread is still hot. FYI – Do not use too much melted butter or it will run all over the sides of the bread. Also do not brush on when the bread has cooled down.

  11. 11

    Let the bread cool on the cooling rack for 1-2 hours before cutting.
