Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups proofed sourdough starter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons margarine
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/3 cup oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup potato flakes

Method

  • Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order that they are listed.
  • Select dough cycle and press start.
  • Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and shape into desired loaf.
  • Place in greased loaf pan and let rise, covered, until 1 to 2 inches above edges of pan.
  • Be patient, this can take several hours, depending upon how active your sourdough culture is.
  • Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes, or until done.
  • Immediately turn out of pan and cool on wire rack.
  • Brush top crust with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
  • NOTE: You can use part whole wheat flour (up to 1 1/2 cups) in place of all white flour.
  • I recently made this and used only 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
  • It made a very nice, light wheat bread.
