Sourdough Recipe

@Rick Stephens asked me for this and I thought I would post it here for posterity.  It's the sourdough bread recipe that came with my starter from Ebay.  Looks hard.

Thanks Jimbo! Actually, many of the recipes I found were even more involved. Apparently, sourdough bread isn’t quick!

I've got it down to a science now.  I throw all the ingredients into the bread maker and put it on a "leaven dough" setting that essentially mixes the dough, kneads it and lets it rise.  Then I let it sit around in the breadmaker tub  for the rest of the day, then put it in the fridge overnight.  Then get up a little early in the morning and put the tub back in the machine and let it cook.  Fresh bread for breakfast. 

Last time I made brioche (french bread with a lot of butter and eggs, soft crust) I actually used the same pattern and added sourdough as well.  It was really nice and had good thick bubbles inside. 

First attempt, came out pretty good! Not too much sourdough flavor yet, but the starter is quite new.

Looks great.  I wonder if flavour is something that gets better with age like you say. 

I made pancakes with mine last weekend and they were super fluffy and lovely.  Just like my grandma used to make .
