Hi Sarah: It does depend on your sourdough. I luckily have a really great sourdough right now, but I have had problems with rise in the past. Also (as pointed out) the taste is a bit different. With that said, I make sandwich bread all the time just using my sourdough. I generally have a fairly fast rise time and have to be very careful in case I miss it (but then I just fold it down and try again). I just made a wonderful sandwich style bread with just sourdough, much more tender than normal and a great crumb, but I had to let it rise twice because I missed the initial rise!
