INCREDIBLE! I use Becky Richardson's starter and the whole family loves this bread! The crust is amazing and the bread spongy without being too dense. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

This was a really good tasting bread!! Even though it fell slightly, I am still giving it 4 stars because I didn't have machine bread yeast so that may be the problem. I will retry with it and rerate at that time if need be. In the meantime, the crust was "crusty" and the inside was real moist and tasty!! I think your sourdough starter has alot to do with the "sourness" of the bread. I used Sourdough Starter by Esther Nelson and it was really good!! Will definitely use again!!

I like that this recipe doesn't call for bread flour. Smells and tastes wonderful.

This recipe is fairly good. It is delightfully simple, but the result was more like white bread than sourdough. I found the original recipe too yeasty in flavor. I wasn't sure if it was my starter or the recipe, so I diluted my starter with an extra cup of milk and an extra 1/4 cup sugar and let it stand overnight, until it had that nice sour aroma. Then I substituted bread flour for the all purpose flour and used only 1 teaspoon of yeast. I also used two tablespoons of sugar and about 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt, unstead of the amounts called for in the recipe. The resulting bread was mellower and less yeasty, but not as sour as I would like.

At the onset of baking, the loaf fell slightly. I will decrease the yeast to 1 1/2 t. next time to see if this helps since I seldom use more than 1 1/2 t. yeast on any bread machine recipe. The loaf had a good flavor and was much more like "regular" white bread than sourdough.

This recipe is excellent. I was in a bind and didn't have a machine mix in the box but did have the sourdough starter. This recipe was EASY EASY EASY and it was DELICIOUS

Have given up on this recipe; believe it has too much flour

I have used the recipe 5 fimes, and it has been great each time. I recently obtained a starter from a friend and wanted to give sourdough a try. After making it once "by hand", I tried this machine recipe. This recipe worked better and was obviously much easier! I find bread flour works very nicely. Every bread machine is different; this recipe works very well for me.

This recipe is the best one that I have tried in my ABM. I make a loaf nearly every day now, & we use it for grilled cheese & tomato sandwiches, french toast & for eating plain. Good texture & flavor.

Great! Forgot to add the yeast and it came out light and fluffy. Will redo with the yeast next time. It wasn't real sour. Because of the yeast probably. Thanks Kathy.

I found this recipe a bit too dificult. Perhaps it was just me, but after carefully following the directions, I ended up with a half-cooked extremely strong tasting loaf. I made the bread three different times with the same result.

This is the best tasting and stays moist to the end and so very easy to make I really eat more bread then I ever used to. It is really so very good. Thank you for the recipe. Marie20002
