This bread looks great !!. I have some questions however, 1. Can I use your 1576 loaf improver instead ?. 2. Can i use sourdough starter, and active dry yeast ? 3. If the rising time ends when dough is 1" crowned over the rim, does the final rise take place in the owen ? Thanks. 1. Instead of which ingredient? 2. Yes - it'll be different, but it should work. You'll need to add more water to the dough than is called for - not sure how much more, it'll depend on the liquidity of your starter. Do it by eye, to make a soft dough. If you're asking about active dry yeast, I'll assume you know how to use it, so won't go into that here. 3. Yes, final rise takes place in the oven - it's called "oven spring." Hope this helps - PJH
