BASIC SOURDOUGH BREAD
Plain white, simple sourdough bread. A great starter recipe to use if you are new to sourdough baking. The dough cycle of the bread machine can be used to prepare the dough, if you like. Prep time does not include proofing time for starter.

Steps:
- Before measuring out your 2 cups of starter culture, it must be proofed: To proof, I usually start with 1 cup of starter and stir into it equal parts of flour and warm water (for this recipe, 1 1/2 cups of each would be more than enough).
- Let mixture sit, covered loosely, for 8 to 12 hours-- the longer it sits, the sourer the flavor will be.
- At this point, measure out the 2 cups required for recipe, and return leftover starter to refrigerator for next time.
- Pour starter into mixing bowl.
- Melt butter (microwave works well).
- Add milk to butter and warm briefly (85 degrees F).
- Add the salt and sugar, stir until dissolved.
- Add this mixture to the culture and mix well.
- Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until the dough is too stiff to mix by hand.
- Turn onto floured board and knead in the remaining flour until the dough is smooth and satiny.
- Pat dough into a 1-inch thick oval and form loaf by rolling oval up from the long side, pinching the seam together as you roll the dough, tucking ends to form the loaf.
- Place in lightly greased loaf pan (I spray with cooking spray), and let rise, covered, at 85 degrees F for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
- When the dough rises 1 to 2 inches above the edges of pan, it is ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes (baking time varies according to your oven and your personal taste--some like a darker crustier bread than others).
- Remove loaf from oven and brush the top lightly with melted butter; turn loaf out of the pan and cool on wire rack.
- If you prefer, you can shape this into a round or oval loaf and bake on a baking sheet.
SOURDOUGH FRENCH BREAD
You can produce an authentic French loaf in your own kitchen. This really works! Adapted for the bread machine from a recipe found in "World Sourdoughs From Antiquity", by Ed Wood. Prep time includes proofing time for sourdough starter.

Steps:
- Put ingredients, in order listed, into bread machine pan.
- Set machine for dough cycle and start.
- At end of dough cycle, turn dough out onto a floured surface.
- If dough is too sticky, knead in a little additional flour.
- Divide dough into 2 equal portions and flatten each into a 1 1/2 inch thick oval.
- Fold oval in half once lengthwise and pinch seam to make an elongate loaf.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the loaves on the sheet seam side down.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F) until about doubled in bulk.
- Place a shallow pan of hot water on the lower shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Make shallow slashes in tops of loaves with a razor blade or finely serrated knife, held at a 30 degree angle.
- Place the loaves in the oven and immediately spray them and the oven walls with water from a fine mister, and avoid spraying oven light.
- Repeat this spraying 3 additional times at one minute intervals.
- Continue baking for 30 to 40 minutes or until brown, but remove pan of water from oven after the first 15 minutes.
- Remove loaves from baking sheet and cool on wire racks.
- *To proof sourdough culture, start with 1/2 cup of culture and stir into it 1 1/2 cups warm water and 1 1/2 cups flour.
- Cover with plastic and let sit 8 to 12 hours (the longer it sits, the more 'sour' your bread will taste).
- At this point, measure out the 2 cups required and proceed with recipe; returning any extra to the starter pot to save in the refrigerator until you want to use it again.

BASIC SOURDOUGH BREAD - 1, 2, 3 METHOD
This is a simple recipe of 1 part by weight starter, 2 parts by weight water and 3 parts by weight flour. Salt is 2% of the flour weight or 0.06 parts by weight. This recipe can be enriched for sandwich bread or buns easily by using milk instead of water and adding sugar and oil. This makes two 1 lb loaves. To make 2 medium loaves, increase ingredients by 50 %. This recipe as written can also make 1 large, 2 lb loaf free-standing or in a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Flo is a pretty french lady on another site who developed the 1-2-3 formula.

Steps:
- Starter Sponge: Add starter to the water and wisk together. Add flour, mix well, cover and let sit at room temperature (70 to 75F) until doubled in volume (6 hours or overnight).
- Dough: Wisk starter sponge into the water and add enough flour to make a thin batter. Wisk to aerate dough, forming some bubbles. Add the rest of the flour and mix well to incorporate.
- Cover the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes to 30 minutes.
- Add salt and knead for 8 minutes. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
- Stretch and fold the dough once by stretching dough into a rectangle and folding letter-style side to side and top to bottom.
- Place in oiled container (straight sided is best) and mark the point on the container when the dough is doubled.
- Let rise in 75 to 80 F area for 1 hour.
- Stretch and fold the dough for the second time.
- Let rise in 75 to 80 F area for 1 more hour or until doubled in volume (total time may be 3 hours).
- Remove dough and divide into 2 pieces weighing 1 lb each and one piece the size of a ping-pong ball.
- Form smooth balls as a pre-shape and rest covered for 10 minutes.
- Shape into batards or torpedo or boule shapes. If resistant to stretching, let rest for 5 to 10 min and repeat.
- Place loaves on a parchment covered cloth folded to support all sides of each loaf and cover with oiled plastic.
- Place the small piece of dough in a small, straight-sided glass and mark doubled volume point with tape or marker or rubber band.
- Preheat oven to 425 F and add a cast iron skillet near the bottom of the oven to preheat as well.
- Let rise until 1 1/2 times the original volume. Watch the small piece as a guide.
- Add 1 cup of hot water to the skillet carefully to avoid breaking the oven door glass.
- Score the loaves with a double edged razor blade.
- Place parchment paper and loaves in the oven and using a flat baking sheet or a peel.
- Bake for 12 minutes and rotate pan for even cooking.
- Bake for 15 to 20 more minutes until browned or 205 F internal temp Cool on rack.
LIGHT (ALMOST AIRY) SOURDOUGH BREAD
Not quite airy, but close. I combined several recipes to get a loaf like I'd buy in the store. The sour flavor will depend on what type of starter you use, and how strong it is. I use a 2 week old starter, that was frozen and thawed the night before- it had a mild flavor. I basically used Recipe #13750 with milk instead of water. Serve warm with homemade Recipe #182268 for a real treat. I suppose this could be made in a bread machine - but I haven't tried it. I find it very relaxing to mix and knead a loaf of bread by hand, and then to make butter while its baking :-) I think my loaf pan must have be over-sized, because this recipe seems to make two loafs. I like everything sweet, including my sour dough bread. If you prefer less sugar, just use a tablespoon or two to proof the yeast.

Steps:
- Proof yeast in warm water with sugar. (Pour warm water in a warm bowl. Sprinkle sugar over water, stir to combine. Sprinkle yeast over sugar water. Let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes, and allow it to bubble / froth. ).
- Add starter to yeast, with the salt and melted butter. Stir in the 3 cups of flour. (I suppose you could use a mixer for this - its so simple to do by hand that I never have.) If your starter is very thin, you may need additional flour. The dough should be soft, but handleable.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes or so. Form a roll and place in well greased loaf pan or two.
- Cover with a lightweight towel or paper towel, etc. and allow to rise in a warm place. I turn my oven on warm for 5 minutes, turn the oven off, and stick the bread in to rise. This will take anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on your starter, and the temperature of your rising place. It is done rising when the loaf begins to peak over the top edge of the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 375* F. Bake the bread for about 10 minutes, or until the crust has reached your desired color. Cover the loaf with a tinfoil tent (leave it a bit loose so that the bread can continue to rise.).
- Bake an additional 30-40 minutes, until the loaf is done. The internal temperature should be 190-200, and it should sound hollow when thumped. I find it easier to stick a thermometer in, than to remove the loaf of bread to thump the bottom.
- Immediately brush the top with butter, so keep the crust moist. I like to use an electric knife to slice the bread and get beautiful, even slices.

Steps:
- First, make your starter. In a large bowl, mix together 100g of the flour with 125ml slightly warm water. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free.
- Transfer the starter to a large jar (a 1-litre Kilner jar is good) or a plastic container. Leave the jar or container lid ajar for 1 hr or so in a warm place (around 25C is ideal), then seal and set aside for 24 hrs.
- For the next 6 days, you will need to 'feed' the starter. Each day, tip away half of the original starter, add an extra 100g of flour and 125ml slightly warm water, and stir well. Try to do this at the same time every day.
- After 3-4 days you should start to see bubbles appearing on the surface, and it will smell yeasty and a little acidic. This is a good indicator that the starter is working.
- On day 7, the starter should be quite bubbly and smell much sweeter. It is now ready to be used in baking.
- Tip the flour, 225ml warm water, the salt, honey and the starter into a bowl, or a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir with a wooden spoon, or on a slow setting in the machine, until combined - add extra flour if it's too sticky or a little extra warm water if it's too dry.
- Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 mins until soft and elastic - you should be able to stretch it without it tearing. If you're using a mixer, turn up the speed a little and mix for 5 mins.
- Place the dough in a large, well-oiled bowl and cover. Leave in a warm place to rise for 3 hrs. You may not see much movement, but don't be disheartened, as sourdough takes much longer to rise than a conventional yeasted bread.
- Line a medium-sized bowl with a clean tea towel and flour it really well or, if you have a proving basket, you can use this (see tips below). Tip the dough back onto your work surface and knead briefly to knock out any air bubbles. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and dust it with flour.
- Place the dough, seam-side up, in the bowl or proving basket, cover loosely and leave at room temperature until roughly doubled in size. The time it takes for your bread to rise will vary depending on the strength of your starter and the temperature in the room, anywhere from 4-8 hrs. The best indicators are your eyes, so don't worry too much about timings here. You can also prove your bread overnight in the fridge. Remove it in the morning and let it continue rising for another hour or 2 at room temperature. The slower the rise, the deeper the flavour you will achieve.
- Place a large baking tray in the oven, and heat to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Fill a small roasting tin with a little water and place this in the bottom of the oven to create steam. Remove the baking tray from the oven, sprinkle with flour, then carefully tip the risen dough onto the tray.
- Slash the top a few times with a sharp knife, if you like, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown. It will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave to cool on a wire rack for 20 mins before serving.

BASIC BUT BEAUTIFUL SOURDOUGH BREAD
I like to bake these in 8 inch round pans, making a pretty loaf that's low on effort and very light. It's the first sourdough recipe I tried and I think it makes a good place to start if you're new to the whole process. The prep time includes rising times, but this could vary depending on how quickly your starter rises. Mine seems to be pretty quick.

Steps:
- Pour the sponge in a bowl and add the sugar, salt and oil or margarine.
- Mix well and then knead in the flour a half-cup at a time.
- Knead in enough flour to make a good, flexible bread dough- you may use slightly more or less than the three cups indicated, depending on how runny your starter is.
- Just keep adding until it looks like any other bread dough.
- You can add the flour by hand, with an electric mixer, a bread machine on dough cycle or a food processor.
- Find a warm place and let the dough rise, covered loosely by a towel (I use my airing cupboard but a slightly warm oven works well too-- don't keep it on, just turn it on for a moment to warm it up before turning it off and putting the dough in).
- If you're using a bread machine's dough cycle, let it rise in the machine.
- Note that sourdough rises more slowly than yeast bread.
- Just let it keep going until it's doubled in bulk.
- Punch the dough down and knead it a little more.
- Make a loaf and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Slit the top if you like, and cover the loaf with a paper towel and place it in a warm place to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
- Place the pan with the loaf in your oven, and then turn your oven to 350 F or 190 C and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes.
- Do not preheat the oven.
- The loaf is done when the crust is brown and the bottom sounds hollow when thumped with a wooden spoon.
- Turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack or a towel and let it cool for an hour before slicing.
