For a tangier flavor, use sourdough starter that has been recently fed and is very active. If your bread machine has a pre-programmed sourdough setting, feel free to use that instead of the white bread setting. The active dry yeast is optional, but it will help speed up the rising process, especially if your sourdough starter is not as active. If you find your bread is too dense, try increasing the amount of water by a tablespoon or two. Always check the dough 15 minutes into the kneading process. It should form a smooth, elastic ball. If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour.
