For this sourdough bread recipe I used a homemade no-yeast sourdough starter and followed Chef John’s Sourdough Bread recipe. A sourdough starter is a simple combination of flour and water, miraculously (well, with a bit of chemistry) turned into a live culture with naturally occurring yeasts and bacteria (the good kind) present in your kitchen. A great starter recipe to use if you are new to sourdough baking. The dough cycle of the bread machine can be used to prepare the dough, if you like. Prep time does not include proofing time for starter.
