This recipe brings a delightful twist to the classic bread machine sourdough, offering a flavorful and easy-to-make loaf.
Add the warm water and plain yogurt to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid, then add the bread flour evenly.
Adding the salt first prevents direct contact with the yeast, which can inhibit its activity.
Drizzle the honey over the flour, then make a small well in the center and add the yeast.
Creating a well for the yeast helps it activate evenly during the mixing process.
Set the bread machine to the white bread setting and start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure it forms a smooth ball; adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allowing the bread to cool completely ensures the texture sets properly and makes slicing easier.
Slice and serve the bread as desired.
This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side for meals.
