Bread Maker Sourdough

~ Tandy

I really want to call this sourdough on speed, but I was not sure what caliber of readers I would attract with that name. I have tested and tested and retested this recipe to make 100% sure that it does not fail. Inge commented on twitter (@inge_loker) how long her sourdough took to make and I can promise that if you don’t have two (or more) days and you do have a bread maker, that you can make this great tasting sourdough loaf knowing it will not fail you. My stepson James has been the recipient of all the testing loaves which has been great as not one loaf has gone to waste. I am still determined to make bread in my bread maker with my starter and rye flour, but that is for another day. Given that our winter weather does not allow me to make sourdough bread the old fashioned way, and that I have a very expensive bread maker that I am determined to get a lot of use out of, I am more than pleased at how well this recipe works, and by how little time I had to spend making the bread.
