[Sca-cooks] bread machines and sour dough starter

breads almost always involve a starter or sponge that may be

and a far better texture than anything you could possibly do in a
bread machine with quick rising yeasts. >>>

Oh? You have to use a dried yeast or baking powder with a bread  
machine? You can't use a starter or sponge with a bread machine? Or  
do you just mean that you let the whole loaf rise over a long period  
before baking it? If the latter, can't you let the bread machine mix  
and knead it and then let it rise over the several days and then bake  
it in the oven or bread machine?
