Best 2 Sour Dough Bread Bread Maker No Starter Required Recipes

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.

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 Two Pound Loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup sourdough starter, you must have a starter available
3/4 cup water, warm about 110F
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (not rapid rise yeast)
3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons salt

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. .
