This bread machine sourdough recipe produces a delicious sourdough bread. It is a fantastic sandwich bread to make at home because sourdough bread has an unique sour and tangy flavor. Sourdough bread tastes similar to the breads that were made hundreds of years ago (when home bakers used “wild” yeast versus today’s mass produced baker’s yeast in order to make their breads).

FYI – This sourdough bread recipe is mixed, kneaded & finished in your bread machine and does not use an oven (unlike many other bread machine sourdough recipes where the sourdough ends up being baked in an oven). Because my recipe only uses a bread machine to make sourdough bread, it tends to be a little easier to make than oven-baked recipes.
