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.

SOURDOUGH FETA DILL BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
I love the feta dill bread by Barb Gertz, but I wanted to convert it to a sourdough version. This is what I came up with. Time is approximate, as starters can be variable, and does not include time for sponge to develop. Try baking this as rolls for sandwiches.

Steps:
- Prepare sponge: mix together the water, 1 cup flour and starter in a medium bowl. Cover and set in a warm space. Sponge will take 8 to 24 hours to develop. If you are not ready to bake, it will hold for a couple of days in the refrigerator.
- Set bread machine to dough cycle. Place sponge and all remaining ingredients in pan in order recommended by the manufacturer. When the dough is completed, transfer it to a large oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled.
- Remove and shape loaf as desired. Cover and let rise until doubled. The dough is slightly sticky, and I like to turn it out onto an oiled, not floured, board.
- Bake in preheated 400 deg. oven for 30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 to 205 degrees.
- Note1: Starters vary considerably about how much time they need to double the loaf. If you are not confident about your starter, you can add 1 teaspoons instant yeast with the dry ingredients to ensure a prompt rise.
- Note2: As with all bread recipes, check the texture of the bread early in the cycle and add additional flour or water, as needed. Feta is variable in the amount of moisture it contains.
- Note3: Unless you know that your sourdough is strong, you may wish to shape immediately after the dough finishes kneading, and let it rise only once.

Tips for Baking Sourdough in a Bread Machine:
- Prepare Sourdough Starter: Before starting, ensure you have an active sourdough starter. Feed it regularly and let it reach its peak before using it in the bread machine.
- Use Bread Flour: Bread flour is ideal for sourdough because it has a higher protein content, resulting in a chewier texture and better rise.
- Correct Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water (around 90-95°F) to activate the yeast and encourage fermentation.
- Mixing and Kneading: Follow the recommended order of ingredients in your bread machine's manual. Let the machine mix and knead the dough thoroughly to develop the gluten.
- Rising Time: The rising time may vary depending on the type of bread machine and the ambient temperature. Keep an eye on the dough and adjust the time as needed.
- Baking Settings: Choose the appropriate baking setting on your bread machine. Some machines have specific sourdough settings, while others may require manual adjustments to the baking cycle.
- Monitor Baking Process: During baking, check the progress of the loaf through the viewing window. If the crust appears too dark, you can adjust the settings or remove the loaf early.
- Cooling and Storing: Once the baking cycle is complete, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and enjoying. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
Conclusion:
Baking sourdough bread in a bread machine is a convenient and rewarding experience. With the right ingredients, technique, and a bit of patience, you can create delicious and aromatic sourdough loaves in the comfort of your own home. Experiment with different flours, add-ins, and fermentation times to discover your perfect sourdough recipe. Remember to keep your sourdough starter active and well-maintained, and your bread machine will reward you with consistently great results. Enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of freshly baked sourdough bread whenever you desire!
