To make SOUR DOUGH BREAD.......Take 3/4 cup starter (return the rest of your starter to refrigerator). Mix with 1/2 cup of flour, let stand while mixing 2 packages yeast, 2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Mix well. Add 1 3/4 cups warm water, mix well.

Bake at 350 F. 25 to 30 minutes.

Use Pillsbury bromate bread flour or 1 cup plain flour and 1 cup quick oats (2 cups plain flour or 2 cups wheat flour or 2 cups rye flour). Oil tops of loaves with vegetable oil before placing in oven.
