Worked great in my bread machine... My starter runs SLOW, so the added yeast was a benefit.

This recipe lives up to it's name. Pretty basic but not too shabby.

These are pretty dense, they'll do for today but I probably won't make these again (I made rolls).

I've never made sourdough bread before and was a little intimidated. But this was easy and very good! Have made it twice already :)

Very good and mine wasn't a strong sourdourgh flavor, but still good! I love baking homemade fresh bread. Mine set out for about 3 days, but still feeding my starter and hopefully the next baking, the bread will have a stronger flavor. So simple and only uses a handful of ingredients!

I can't imagine an easier bread! So delicious, we have been making it every other day. I haven't felt the need to even look for another recipe, this is the one!

I had to add lots of flour to my sour dough starter.

First time making sourdough bread, and it couldn't have been easier! I don't have a bread machine so I followed earlier advice: proof the yeast in 1/4 cup water, knead dough for 10 minutes on floured service, let rise in warm oven (I forgot about it and left it in the oven for 45 minutes), punch down, shape loaf, let rise for 20-30 minutes. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Amazing sourdough bread! My sourdough starter smells awesome though, so that certainly helped!

This was my first time making sourdough bread and it came out pretty good. My starter is made of just flour and water (one cup of each at room temp, wait 24 hours, dump out half then add 1/2 cup each flour and water, repeat every 24 hours stirring frequently until froth/foam forms). I was very happy with how well this rose and how easy the dough was to work with. I used the dough cycle on my bread machine. When it was done, I kneaded it a few times, then shaped in an oval loaf. I covered and let rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes, then baked it at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes so it was nice and crusty. The bread did dry out pretty fast the next day, but it makes wonderful toast.
