Instructions: *** Omit yeast if letting bread rest 4 to 6 hours because then your sourdough starter should take over

(Id add a little bit just in case...)

Put ingredients into bread maker in order listed above. Push start in "french" bread mode and let it mix for 1 minute. Push cancel, let it "rest" 4 to 6 hours, then hit start again. If you start in the morning, the bread would be ready for dinner

(8 to 10 hours later).

I didnt let it "rest" and still had a mild sourdough bread. But to really get the stronger sourdough taste, it should be allowed to rest for some time.
