Ingredients
-
1 1/8 cups (260 g) water

4 cups (500 g) flour
-
1/3 cup (100 g) sourdough discard
-
3 tbsp (40 g) butter

-
1 1/2 tsp (10 g) salt
Directions
-
Layer the Ingredients: Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in this order: water, sourdough discard, flour, butter, sugar, yeast, and salt (in opposite corners so yeast and salt don’t touch).
-
Select the Setting: Use the wheat loaf setting with a dark crust for a robust sourdough-style flavor. Alternatively, choose any setting you prefer for a basic white or sandwich loaf.
-
Start the Machine: Press start and allow the bread machine to complete its cycle.
-
Cool the Loaf: Carefully remove the loaf and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
-
Enjoy: Serve fresh or toasted—perfect for sandwiches or with a slather of butter.
