GARLIC AND PARMESAN SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Starter must be proofed overnight or up to 12 hours before making bread.
• Add ingredients to bread machine in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
• Select Dough cycle and start.
• When dough has finished kneading, but before it goes into the rise, remove from machine and shape into loaf or loaves.
• You could do standard loaves, or a free-form round or oval, or elongate.
• Let bread rise until double in bulk, covered.
• For a nice touch, lightly beat 1 egg white with 1 Tbsp water and brush top of loaf with this egg wash, and then sprinkle with fresh Parmesan, finely shredded.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of loaves.
• NOTE: Roasted garlic could be used, in which case I would increase the amount because it is milder in flavor.
