                    I looked for a fairly healthy sourdough-like bread. Tweaked and tweaked until I'd made up my own recipe. The basil gives it a sweetness. Hope you like it. My bread machine only needs 1/2 tsp yeast, but most others seem to need more. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 tablespoons olive oil  |  
                                                6 ounces beer (about 1/2 can)  |  
                                                water  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                2 tablespoons dried basil  |  
                                                1/2 cup old fashioned oats  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups white flour  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups wheat flour  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon yeast  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Pour oil into bread machine container. In a small liquid measure, pour about 1/2 can of beer. Fill with water up to 1 1/3 cup mark. 2. Add all dry ingredients, in order listed. 3. Note: reverse ingredients if your machine requires dry first. 4. Run on basic bake cycle. 5. When it beeps, wait about 5 minutes before removing. 6. Wrap in a towel while warm for softer crust.                              |
