Honey White Sourdough Bread Machine Dough Oven Baked


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Proverbs 14:34


    [34] 

    Righteousness exalts a nation,

        but sin is a reproach to any people.



1-1/4 water, I needed more so I added a teaspoon at a time 

1 t quick yeast 

140 g sourdough discard 

3-1/2 c aerated AP flour

3-4 T Honey, to taste

1 t Salt 


Add ingredients to bread machine in this above order

Turn on dough cycle

Check after 3 minutes to see if you need more water 

I did have to add more

This is a soft sticky dough 

It should still pull away from sides and form a loose ball

After cycle remove to lightly floured parchment 

Lightly flour hands

Gently pat into a rectangle shape

Almost 9 or 10 inches to fit which pan you use

Fold as if making cinnamon rolls

Tuck in ends and pinch seams

Place in a well buttered or greased loaf pan, preferably a 5x10

I only had 5x9 hence the curl on top of the sides 

Grease top with melted butter or oil, I used olive oil

Let rise in oven with light on for 1 hour, covered (tip) warm oven on 150 temp then turn off 

Bake 375 for 35-40 minutes until internal temp is 105

Remove from oven and place on rack to cool, grease top again 

Store in a linen bread bag 

To serve, toast butter and add jam 


Note:

I could not bake mine after the rise so I put it in fridge covered until I ran my errands then baked when I returned and it was fine
