Sourdough Onion Herb Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups proofed sourdough starter
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup dried potato flakes
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 teaspoons dried mixed italian seasoning
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Preparation

Add all ingredients to bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Select dough cycle, but remove from machine at the end of the kneading and do not let dough rise in machine.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and shape into two loaves.
Place into greased bread pans and spray tops with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until light.
Patience here, as this can take several hours (usually 2 1/2 to 3).
Bake at 350\u00b0 F for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and turn out of pans onto wire rack to cool.
Brush tops of loaves with butter while still hot.
Recipe can also be made without a bread machine, using conventional methods.
