Best Bread Machine Sourdough

• 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

1. Put first 4 ingredients in bread machine and stir gently. (yes, this works...).
2. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Starter should start to bubble a little.
3. Add flour, then spread oil and salt evenly over the flour.
4. Select basic course or following custom settings if your bread maker has them:
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. See directions for making a starter or order a starter online.
8. Like all sourdough breads wait until at room temperature before cutting or insides will clump up and tear the insides out of the loaf.
