Comments
This is another recipe from the fabulous The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook.  It was very challenging to wait for the loaf to fully cool before slicing, but I managed.  Then I ate half of the loaf with Brummel.  It was perfect.  This is just what I want sourdough bread to be, nice and tangy with a great crust.
