Make Quick Sourdough Bread in Your Bread Machine

With the high cost of bread at the grocery store, I have started baking my own! So dig out your bread machine and get ready for a series of wonderful homemade breads that are both budget friendly and contain nothing I cannot pronounce. This article will teach you to make a Quick Sourdough Bread to accompany your favorite recipe.

Things you?ll need

1/2 cup yogurt, plain nonfat

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened

3 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

11/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons regular active dry yeast or quick-acting yeast

Bread Machine

Step 1

Dust off the bread machine. Place all ingredients in the bread pan in the order listed above. Insert bread pan, close lid, and plug in. Most people remove the pan when putting the ingredients in; I don?t as it is one less step. Most people remove the pan; I don?t as it is one less step.

Step 2

Choose the Sourdough bread option on your bread maker. If you want, you can bake your loaf in the bread maker. Or, I like mine to look like Sourdough bread (round), so I like to let my bread maker make the dough and I shape it, and let it rise again.

Step 3

When you bread dough is done, remove the pan. Lightly flour your countertop or a smooth surface and flour your hands. Carefully remove your dough and gently roll out with your hands into one round loaf, or you can make bread sticks and make several long loaves. The shape is all up to you! Place on a cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until your meal is almost ready.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake until golden brown. For 15-20 minutes for a large round loaf. The baking time will vary; just keep an eye on your bread and let your nose tell you when it is done!

Warnings

Do not use the delay bake option on your bread machine for this recipe as the yogurt could go bad during the waiting time.
