How to Bake Sourdough Sandwich Bread in a Loaf Pan

Active Sourdough Starter - No commercial yeast is needed for this recipe! Your active starter will do all the work to give you that soft and chewy slice of sandwich bread.

Warm Water - Make sure that the water isn’t boiling. This can kill your sourdough starter, causing the dough not to rise and instead be dense.

Unsalted Butter, melted - Adding butter to this recipe makes this everyday bread so soft. You can substitute for a 1:1 ratio with olive oil if preferred.

Sugar - For some sweetness and color! While the bread bakes, the crust will turn golden brown due to the Maillard reaction.

Bread Flour - Bread flour has a higher gluten count, which helps this homemade sourdough bread keep its shape.

All-Purpose Flour - Incorporating some white flour keeps the bread nice and soft.

Salt - To enhance the overall flavor of the bread.
