Sourdough Whole Wheat Bread

1. 1

   Measure the culture into bread machine pan.

2. 2

   Add remaining ingredients, with flour being last.

3. 3

   Set machine for dough cycle and start.

4. 4

   At end of cycle, remove dough from machine and shape into desired loaf.

5. 5

   Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled--this can take as little as 1 hour or several hours, depending on what type of starter you use and how active it is.

6. 6

   Top of loaf can be slashed at this stage, if desired.

7. 7

   Uncover and bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done.

8. 8

   Remove from baking pan and cool on wire rack.

9. 9

   NOTE: I don't let my dough rise in the dough cycle; I just remove it after the kneading is completed and shape my loaf, then let loaf rise.
