Sourdough Whole Wheat Bread

I had some whole wheat flour to use up and wanted to use and feed one of my sourdough starter aka "Betty", but my starters are just regular ones not a whole wheat one. 

I found this recipe on Food.com Sourdough Wheat Bread. It used regular starter and half whole wheat flour and regular bread flour.  The only changes I made with this recipe were I used honey instead of sugar, and canola oil instead of melted butter. 

The recipe uses 2 cups of starter, so make sure you have enough one hand.

This bread is dense, chewy, soft and definitely has the sourdough twang to it.  The starter I used is about 2 months old, I can only imagine how it would have been if I had used "Wilma" which is 5 months old.

This dough has no yeast and depends totally on the starter, mine took a good 1 1/2 to rise.

Here is a great loaf shot...

Here's a great inside view !!

I highly recommend this bread.  It does start off in the bread machine, but you could use a stand mixer or just the old fashioned way by hand.

Thanks for stopping by............
