Note: The sourdough bread recipe below has portions that are one-half that for all ingredients provided on the website. It takes time to make both the sourdough starter and the bread as the dough is rested overnight, but I think its worth the wait.

- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Additional Time: 8 hrs
- Total Time: 9 hrs
- Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

- ¾ cups warm water
- ½ cup sourdough starter
- ¼ cup oil (optional)
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¾ teaspoons salt
- 3 cups bread flour

Directions

- Mix water, sourdough starter, oil, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Sift flour and add to the mixture. Grease or oil dough and place in an oiled bowl; cover and let rise overnight.
- The next day, grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. Knead dough for 10 minutes; divide in half and place into prepared pans. Allow dough to double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake loaves in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Carefully tip loaves out of pan onto a work surface and gently tap the bottom of loaf. If it sounds hollow, bread is done.
