Sourdough French Bread image

Since receiving the recipe for the Sourdough Starter, I've made this French bread countless times. In fact, one year I donated 2 dozen loaves for a benefit dinner! These loaves rival any found in stores and can be made with relative ease. - Delila George, Junction City, Oregon

The bread was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The bread was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll use less sourdough starter next time.

I had some trouble getting the bread to rise, but I'm not sure if it was the recipe or my fault. The bread still tasted good, though.
