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

Steps:
- Make sourdough starter at least 1 week before making bread. In large glass bowl, dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast in warm water. Stir in 3 cups flour and 4 teaspoons sugar. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Cover loosely; let stand at room temperature about 1 week or until mixture is bubbly and has a sour aroma. Transfer to 2-quart or larger nonmetal bowl. Cover tightly; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Use sourdough starter once a week or stir in 1 teaspoon sugar. After using starter, replenish it by stirring in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon sugar until smooth. Cover loosely; let stand in warm place at least 1 day until bubbly. Cover tightly; refrigerate until ready to use. To use, stir cold starter; measure cold starter, and let stand until room temperature (starter will expand as it warms up).
- Measure 1 cup of the sourdough starter and all remaining bread ingredients carefully, placing in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
- Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycle. (Total time will vary with appliance and setting.) Remove baked bread from pan; cool on cooling rack.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Choose fresh, organic ingredients for your sourdough bread, including unbleached all-purpose flour, water, salt, and starter. Using high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful and nutritious loaf of bread.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Sourdough bread requires precise timing and ratios of ingredients, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements, as this can affect the final outcome of the bread.
- Use a bread machine that has a sourdough setting: A bread machine with a sourdough setting will make the process of making sourdough bread much easier. The machine will automatically mix, knead, and proof the bread, and it will also bake it at the correct temperature.
- Be patient: Sourdough bread takes time to make, so be patient throughout the process. The fermentation and rising time can take several hours, but it's worth the wait for the delicious and flavorful bread that you'll end up with.
Conclusion:
Making sourdough bread in a bread machine is a great way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without all the hassle. With a little patience and the right ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious loaf of sourdough bread that your family and friends will love.
