Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Sourdough Sandwich Bread

1 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 cup Sourdough Starter
3 Tbsp grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
3- 3 1/2 cups bread flour

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the water.  Let stand until creamy about 10 minutes.

In large bowl of stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture with the sourdough starter, the grapeseed oil, honey, salt and 2 cups of the flour.  Using the dough hook, combine ingredients on low speed until well mixed. Add the remaining flour a little at a time while mixing, until the dough has pulled together away from the sides of the bowl.  Continue "kneading" until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).

Butter a large bowl and place the dough into it, turning to butter all sides of dough.  Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350^F.  Butter a 9x5" loaf pan and form the dough into a loaf.  Place the dough in the pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

This makes a large loaf of bread that's perfect for slicing to make sandwiches or toast!
