This reader-favorite sourdough sandwich bread is my favorite bread for just about everything. It is delicious, with a mild but wonderful sourdough flavor, it’s soft and fluffy, and it comes out just right each time. The recipe makes two sandwich loaves, which last us all week long. And yes, it’s mostly white flour, but I don’t feel too about it because research shows that the healthfulness of white sourdough bread exceeds that of whole grain and multigrain breads. Many sourdough breads need to be started a day before, but this sourdough sandwich loaf can easily be made in about eight hours from start to finish, including three rise times. So, for example, if you start making the bread in the morning, you can easily have it ready in time for dinner.
