Here’s a delicious recipe for Multigrain Sourdough Sandwich Bread. Since making this recipe, I no longer buy bread at the grocery store. Instead I make this loaf along with my Tangy Sourdough Bread once a week.
(Post modified on 1/9/24.)
I’ve fondly dubbed this our Breakfast Bread as I toast slices nearly every morning to go with eggs and bacon. My husband loves this bread and often remarks that this is his favorite breakfast. Eggs. Bacon. Toast. Especially the toast.
Of course, it would be great for sandwiches, too. Even tea sandwiches!

Ingredients for Multigrain Sourdough Sandwich Bread
(See the full recipe at the bottom of this post.)

A Note about the Ingredients
I buy two ingredients in this recipe from King Arthur Baking. The Harvest Grains Blend, and the whole-grain bread improver. You may opt not to use the bread improver. I have tried this recipe without it, and it comes out okay, but I do get a better rise when I use it. You may also be able to find similar ingredients on Amazon or from your local grocer.
Instructions for Making This Recipe
Gather all your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, granulated sugar, olive oil, instant yeast, salt, and whole-grain bread improver. Add in instant potato flakes, whole-wheat flour, Harvest Grain Blends, and all-purpose flour.
Beat with dough hook and mix until combined. Continue to knead for 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap coated with baking spray. Allow to rise for 60-90 minutes until double.
If you opt to make this without the instant yeast, you’ll want to stretch and fold the dough to build the natural gluten in the dough. Do this every 30 minutes, then return to the greased bowl until it has risen double.
Grease an 8″ x 4″ loaf pan. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and pat into a rectangle. Roll and shape it into a log to fit the pan. Pinch edges and ends together to seal.
Place in prepared pan and cover with plastic wrap coated with baking spray. Allow to rise until double, 60-90 minutes.
Again, if you opt not to use the instant yeast, your rising times may increase up to 2 hours.
Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven and bake for 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and turn out onto wire rack to cool. Makes 1 loaf.
