This Simple Sourdough Bread is just that…simple! It is made using my homemade sourdough starter that is just as easy! So, after your sourdough starter is ready to go, be sure to make this crusty and chewy (in the best way) bread. This bread is certainly delicious on its own, but use it for my Crispy Cheese Sandwich or Apple Gouda Grilled Cheese next time to really make the sandwiches stand out!  Simple Sourdough Bread Sourdough bread is one of those loaves of bread I always get from the bakery or in the bakery department at my local grocery store....

A few months ago I decided I'd like to try baking all our bread instead of buying some of it at the store.
