Make Sourdough Bread in a Bread Machine!
Here's my step by step video that shows you how to make sourdough bread in a BREAD MACHINE!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup sourdough starter, bubbly and active
Instructions:
1. Add the water and melted butter to the bread machine.
2. On top of that add the bread flour, sugar and salt.
3. Lastly, add the sourdough starter.
4. Use the kneading function on the bread machine. Set to knead for 25 minutes.
Optional: After the first knead cycle finishes, press the button again and let it knead the dough one more time, for an additional 25 minute cycle.
5. Next, allow the dough to sit in the bread machine for about 6 hours, or until the dough nearly rises to the top of the bread pan.
6. After the dough has risen for several hours, go to the baking function on your bread maker and select the option for dark crust. This makes the bake time 1 hour.
7. Pull the bread out of the bread maker and allow to cool.
8. ENJOY!
Notes:
Although you can make this bread from start to finish without ever touching the dough, you have the option to take out the dough from the bread machine after kneading and remove the paddle. (WHICH I FORGOT TO DO!) It just makes the bread look so much prettier.

Vonnie's Sourdough Starter for Bread Machine
Easy recipe for sourdough starter.
I've used this recipe for decades now.
I did make a mistake when I said that the liquid that forms on top of the starter is fine, the book says it is normal but to pour it off. Especially pour it off after it has been in the refrigerator. Usually happens after storage.
Remember to do 'something' to the starter once a week. Either make something and feed the starter. or throw out one cup and feed the starter.
Feed the starter is replacing what you have taken out or keep it fresh.
Most of my recipes call for 1 cup starter. I would take that out of my jar and then put one cup warm water and one cup flour back into the jar and stir. Then let it sit on the counter 30 minutes until it bubbles again and then cover and put back in refrigerator. That is 'feeding the starter'
2 cups warm water
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
(this makes 2 cups)
Put water, yeast and honey in a mixing bowl. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Stir until yeast is dissolves. Stir in the flour and beat until smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 2 to 5 days, stirring occasionally. The longer the starter stands, the stronger the flavor.
The starter will bubble and a sour smelling liquid may form on top. This is normal for a healthy starter, so simply pour the liquid off and discard.
To store the starter, pour it into a sterilized jar or crock. Cover and refrigerate.
Give it a try, I think you'll be pleased with the results!
Easy Sourdough Bread with Your Bread Machine
You love sourdough but it's all sort of confusing and complicated? Or your loaves just aren't turning out how you hoped? This is the EASIEST way to make sourdough at home, without yeast, and without a big production. And it's just as delicious as those crazy recipes.
Print out the recipe here:
Recipe:
ingredients
3 cups bread flour (15.85 ounces/ 450 grams)
1 cup lukewarm water (7.75 ounces/ 220 grams)
3/4 cup fed sourdough starter (5.65 ounces/ 165 grams)
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
instructions
1. Mix the bread flour, starter, sugar, and water in a large mixing bowl. It will seem dryer than most sourdoughs, but don’t add more water. Use your hands to make sure everything is incorporated into a ball. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it rest on the counter. (It helps to measure out the salt into a separate container on place it on top of the towel so you don’t forget to add it later.)
2. Place the dough and salt into the bread machine bucket and select the dough cycle. The machine will beep when the cycle ends, but let it rise another 2-3 hours in the machine, for a total rise time of 3-4 hours. The dough should look noticeably puffier, but may not have quite doubled in size.
3. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper and sprinkling with cornmeal. Take the dough out of the bread machine, and gently shape it into a round or oval loaf. The dough will be slightly sticky, but dry not to use any flour when shaping it. Place on the prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
4. Place the covered loaf in the refrigerator to proof overnight. Anywhere from 8-16 hours will be fine.
5. In the morning, preheat the oven to 450 degrees with two racks: one in the center, one in the lower middle. Place an empty rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack while the oven is preheating. Remove the loaf from the fridge and gently rub with flour. Slash the loaf with a lame or sharp serrated knife.
6. When the oven has preheated, pour 1 cup of water onto the empty baking sheet to create steam. Immediately place the loaf inside, close the door, and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 4 hours before slicing.
7. Store at room temperature, well wrapped, for up to three days,
notes
I use a 100% hydration sourdough starter (equal parts flour and water), if yours is dryer or wetter, you will need to slightly tweak the amount of water in the dough.
I have done this recipe both by weight and volume and the results were similar.
To make ahead, fully bake the loaf, allow it to cool completely, and freeze, well wrapped, for up to a month.
My bread machine:
Baking with sourdough, aka wild yeast, is fun and strangely addicting. But it can be a lot trickier than working with regular yeast! It is slow to rise, you need to rely on oven spring, and you need a healthy sourdough starter.
But once you get started baking with sourdough, you will never stop! From rustic sourdough rolls to artisan style rustic loaves, you can learn how to bake professional looking breads. You can also sue your sourdough starter in quick breads, muffins, and even pancakes.
