I make a simple sourdough, without a starter, in my bread machine all the time. Tastes great.

1/2 cup yogurt, plain nonfat

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened

3 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons regular active dry yeast or quick-acting yeast

My wife makes a nice Irish Soda Bread, too... well worth a bit of research.
