Now that I’ve got the hang of keeping this sourdough starter going, I need to make a loaf every week or every other week to make it worthwhile.  While I love basic sourdough bread, I wanted to try something new so I turned to The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook and found this recipe.  The bread is great, full of flavor with that wonderful sourdough taste.  Yum!
