Baking bread at home using a bread maker is a convenient and rewarding experience, and making sourdough bread is no exception. Sourdough bread has a unique tangy flavor and chewy texture that many people enjoy. Traditionally, sourdough bread requires a starter, which is a mixture of flour and water that is fermented over time to create a natural leavening agent. However, it is possible to make sourdough bread in a bread maker without using a starter. This simplified method involves using a combination of commercial yeast and a sourdough culture, which is a dehydrated sourdough starter that can be purchased in stores or online. With the right ingredients and a few simple steps, you can enjoy delicious homemade sourdough bread without the hassle of maintaining a sourdough starter.

Steps:
- Put first 4 ingredients in bread machine and stir gently. (yes, this works...).
- Let sit for about 10 minutes. Starter should start to bubble a little.
- Add flour, then spread oil and salt evenly over the flour.
- Select basic course or following custom settings if your bread maker has them:.
- Custom settings for Zojirushi BB-CEC20: Preheat - 20 Minutes ( I start cycle after mixing first four ingredients then add remaining three ingredients after ten minutes), Knead - 20 minutes, Rise1 - 40 minutes, Rise2 - 40 minutes, Rise3 - OFF, Bake - 58 minutes Medium or Dark crust setting ( I use medium), Keep warm - OFF.
- Check a few minutes into kneading and add flour or water as needed to get a just slightly tacky dough that sticks to your fingers like a strong post it note and stretches smoothly without tears when kneading. Sourdough bread dough is a little gloopier then regular white bread.
- See directions for making a starter or order a starter online.
- Like all sourdough breads wait until at room temperature before cutting or insides will clump up and tear the insides out of the loaf.
Tips:
- Use high-quality bread flour for a better rise and texture.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Activate the yeast properly by following the instructions on the packet.
- Knead the dough well to develop the gluten and create a smooth, elastic dough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
- Shape the dough into your desired shape and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Let the dough rise again until it reaches the top of the pan.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
These recipes provide various options for making delicious sourdough bread in a bread maker, even without a starter. Experiment with different flours, add-ins, and techniques to create your perfect loaf. Remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and follow the instructions carefully for successful baking. Enjoy the convenience of using a bread maker and the satisfaction of creating homemade sourdough bread that is crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. .
