I would like to make this in my breadmakerGood afternoon......would you have a recipe for sourdough bread. Thank-you?
To make sourdough bread, you must have an active healthy sourdough starter already. There are *hybrid* recipes that have you start out with a commercial yeast and let it set for a day or so, but that is not sourdough. That is a poolish, biga, or preferment (depending upon what country you come from, different terms)





If you want a real sourdough, take the time to develop a traditional starter. It is well worth it, and the culinary journey (learning experience) is fantastic!





Here is a popular site for getting a traditional sourdough starter going: http://www.squidoo.com/sourdoughstarter. Then once you have the sourdough starter viable and active for a couple weeks you are ready to make bread: http://www.squidoo.com/real-sourdough. Sourdough takes extra time to rise, so you will have to make those timing adjustments with the bread machine and not just put the dough in and expect it to act like commercial yeast. Sourdough is not a fast food. It is slow and worth every moment that it takes. :-)





Wish you lots of fun with sourdough!Good afternoon......would you have a recipe for sourdough bread. Thank-you?
