Sourdough English Muffin Bread Machine Mix

The tangy taste of San Francisco sourdough is unique. You will love this muffin bread. Just drop it in your bread machine or bake it in your oven.   This bread mix makes a large loaf with an open crumb.  It toasts into a crunchy, crisp texture typical of English muffins.  This makes a great breakfast bread but you can enjoy it as a snack also.   You'll make a large loaf--approximately two pounds. An SAF gourmet yeast packet is enclosed.  You add only water. For a crusty bread:  This sourdough bread naturally forms a more chewy crust than other mixes and a "medium" crust setting will be adequate in most bread machines.  To maintain a chewy crust, store your bread in a paper bag, not plastic.  (In plastic, the bread sweats and softens the outer crust.)   If you make this bread in your bread machine, water temperature is critical.  Please use a thermometer to measure water at exactly 80 degrees.  A ten degree difference in water temperature can double the growth rate of the yeast.  These bread mixes are satisfaction guaranteed when you use a thermometer.
