Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 cups sourdough starter
- 4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
- 2 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar (agave syrup, or honey)
- 1 tblsp yeast
- 4 tsp vital wheat gluten ( I don't use this)
- 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tblsp water for glaze, optional
- Toppings, also optional
Preparation
Step 1
Mix the ingredients in bread machine. After the kneading process, place dough in a greased bowl for rising, 90 minutes. Score the tops and glaze, adding your toppings if desired.
Form into 6 long loaves or 3 large Italian loaves. Let them rise 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Covered.
Bake 3 to a sheet for 20-25 minutes at 425*. Letting the loaves cool in the turned off oven preserves the crust.
