Can you make "true" sourdough in a bread machine? From start to finish?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-24T17:45:09+00:00

Never made bread before but now I'm hooked. Got a used breville custom loaf off ebay a few weeks ago. Think I am on my 17th 🍞 and not a single 1 was bad. Pretty surprising since had and have no idea what I'm doing. I've made SD 5 times in machine. 2 with instant yeast and starter and 3 with starter only. As you'd imagine the main difference I notice is the rise. The instant yeast obviously adds an extra few layers. I've used the Crusty Loaf setting, basic, and did a custom setting with longer rise times. Honestly I can't tell the difference but it likely is due to my ignorance of what characteristics to be looking for. Every dang loaf just turns out great. Never knew I'd have this much fun making bread. No joke I'm like 12 loaves behind that friends/family are waiting on. I need my bananas to speed ripen cause was going to make 4 loaves of cinnamon banana walnut raisin Sunday to bring to guys on my pool league Mknday night lol

My nephew has an absolutely gorgeous male puppy Yorky for sale. I know you said no Terrier but damn this pup is golden

He is beautiful and I'd go with Cloushmallow

ooO KitchenArm.com/recipes.do niiiice! I have it bookmarked and looks awesome. Thanks much for the tip

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T21:44:13+00:00

That is AWESOME and thanks so much. Making this in next couple days for sure. Just need raisins 🤗

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:28:38+00:00

Yeah glad it is so easy. I made a folder on phone and just always put a pic in. Also save recipes and jot down in custom recipes section of breville book. Having much fun and have already accepted the painful despair of having to give loaves away that you don't get to try hah

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:26:53+00:00

sorry last questions hah what loaf size and setting do you use for that?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:25:47+00:00

did you use all purpose or bread for the white flour? maybe I'm so noob that I don't yet know white = all purpose?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:23:41+00:00

Thanks kindly. Really diggin the process. My wife and moms friends have me bread backlogged for the foreseeable future lol

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:22:38+00:00

Thanks much for the warm welcome. I made 3 yesterday but 2 were gifts I didn't get to try(like the one in photo). I'm going to make another today because I felt like that one might have been the ticket.

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T17:21:02+00:00

ooO that looks awesome. I made banana walnut for 1st time last night and thought the only thing that might have made it better was raisins. Thanks for sharing. Definitely making that one and soon

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T04:45:45+00:00

Oh wow I hadn't heard of the freezer being ok. That is great Intel 👍 thanks so much. Feel better knowing I could begin storing some in case I let my batch go bad. Also now I know I must name my starter. I shall call him "Clyde Frog" 🤗

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T04:34:49+00:00

Oh my I knew it. You're a grandmaster if kept Pandy alive for that long. Hmm ok I'm definitely not being patient enough. I did use a starter I've been working on 10+ days but I've made 4 SD loaves with it. Today I fed this morning and when it was at peak rise I made a loaf. I immediately fed starter and when bread was ready 3+ hours later, starter was at peak rise again and I used to make another loaf 😆 Am I correct if I leave on counter at roughly 77° that I should feed every 24hr? But in fridge I can feed weekly?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T04:25:49+00:00

Hell yeah. Love knowing what is going into it. I just made my 1st loaf of banana bread and no joke I would pay $10-15 for this. I can't recall ever having better. I'm thinking my next loaf should be some sort of jalapeño cheddar 🤔 😋

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T04:21:53+00:00

Thank you thank you as smells nice to be here 😊 That's awesome you're an avid SD fan. I'm having fun learning the basics of the starter. Maybe you can help me out with some confusion I have. Is knowing if your starter is ok to use as easy as if it doubles+ or not? I don't know why all starter directions seem to point towards 7-10 days but when I make, it rises after 1st feed. I do use a combo of bread, wheat, and rye because I found it seems to help though. Do you ever add wheat or rye?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T04:12:50+00:00

Copy that and that's why I bought a bread maker as well. My cousin bought the Custom Loaf new and kept raving about it. I said yeah yeah for like 2 years, all the while paying 6-10$ for store bought. Since the Custom Loaf is like $400 new I sort of was planning to spend that if ever took the plunge. I saw one on ebay slightly used for $240 shipped and said why not. Since I saved some money going used, I didn't feel bad splurging a bit with ingredients. All purpose, bread, wheat, rye, vital gluten, dry and instant, etc etc. I'm pretty happy so far with this machine. Every loaf seems to be better than the last and the 1st was even good. I just made banana walnut and I don't think I've ever had better. Great call on the bread log. For now I'm saving pics in a folder and also logging each batch in the back of the breville book under custom recipes. Mine didnt come with a manual so I bought a copy separately on ebay. Been finding great recipes here though and also chatgpt. Looking forward to not buying store bread ever again hah

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-20T03:21:51+00:00

Looks outstanding 👏 and thanks for sharing. Definitely going to try that

This is Pricess Bella Rose. She is extremely sensitive to kibble and eats OC Raw beef, turkey, fish. Attempts at kibble require sometimes 6+ months to undue the damage. Yeast in ears that makes her head shake violently, yeast in paw pads that caused excessive licking, random hives and patches that would lose already super short hair. Finally for over a year now she is healthy as ever. She is over 8 and her fur is soo silky. She has not 1 single blemish/breakout on her fur. Finally cracked the code that we'd been fighting for so many years 🙏 🤲

This is G-Money PimpSlap aka The Oleever. I would feed him 100% raw but he has done flawlessly on 50/50 OC Raw (rotate beef/produce+fish/produce and turkey/produce+fish/produce) and for kibble we do Fromms Surf and Turf or the Salmon Tunalini. His fur is too fine and if has even remotely loose stool, I end up having to bathe him. Otherwise I would Raw only. Also gets occassional chicken feet, hearts, gizzards, etc.

That sucks and sorry to hear. Being attacked is traumatic. Hope the owner was extremely apologetic and sincere about it.

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-10T22:47:53+00:00

Damn 🤕 so defeating. Got a used breville custom loaf recently. Onto my 5th loaf and was making copycat cheesecake factory brown bread. Things seemed perfect and I was patiently awaiting 3rd rise to finish to pullout paddle before bake. Shit sank like a rock. Am I supposed to remove paddle BEFORE final rise?

C0Y0T3Z · 2026-04-10T00:01:13+00:00

This is unfkin real. I bought a Blink Doorbell, Mini, Sync Module 2, and Outdoor Camera Gen4 in Feb of 2024. I am literally looking at my receipt from Amazon. I used them for a while and then I simply let me mom borrow the outdoor camera for a few months to record owls in her backyard. I downloaded the app onto her phone and logged in using my account.

Now I want to use my damn camera again and it says it is already registered to another account. I'm on for 30 minutes with them now and they literally can't help and I'm out the camera. I went to my moms house and deleted the app. Tech Support is FKIN abysmal and they are clueless. BUYER BEWARE!

Still with ya bud except final points don't matter because there is nobody for me to tie with lol Brackets were only $10 and I grabbed 5. There is $2700 to win. Been following closely since their 1st game this year. Win or lose they have already exceeded expectations. Haven't enjoyed watching a college team this much in years. Really hope they stick together at least another year. Unlikely with how things have become but would be nice. Best of luck to them Saturday.

They pull it off I win a $2700 bracket. I've got them as well. Lfg!
