This was the worst recipe i have ever made. I nursed the starter for 14 days and I have made sourdough bread for 15 years and I would NEVER EVER make this one again.

Well just to clarify things, I have been baking and selling sourdough breads for over ten years now and this is a true sourdough recipe. Maybe not an Artesian Sourdough but still a sourdough recipe using my own sour starter. There is no sugar (except to ferment the powder yeast) and no milk, so it should not be sweet in any form. The only cause for this bread to be sweet is if your starter is made with sugar and a lot of it. And This recipe is designed for people who don't have the time for an 18 - 24 hour rise and baking requirements for a true Artesian Loaf. That said as far as sweetbread goes...Sweetbread recipes are neither sweet nor a bread. It is actually the internal organs of young animals, frequently piglets, calves, or lambs.The history of sweetbread recipes dates back prior to supermarkets and butcher shops when families butchered and processed their own animals while wasting no meat. Sweetbread, with its smooth, velvety texture and mild flavor, was a particular delicacy that could be cooked in a variety of ways: boiled, fried, breaded, broiled, stewed, sautéed, poached, or grilled.

Too sweet for me. Reminded me of the bread my MIL makes at Easter, just a bit more sour.

This makes for a very sweet bread. The recipe is very simple to follow, and the results are not terrible, but they are not good either, in my oppinion... It should also be noted that this is not an actual sourdough recipe, as it calls for yeast. This is more of a sweetbread recipe that makes use of a sourdough starter.

If you like a soft crust. Then spread 2tbls of butter over the top of the loaf soon as it comes out of the oven. ***Also you could use this recipe in your bread machine*** Makes a 11/2 -2l b loaf. [I posted this recipe.]
