look up sourdough recipes on internet
For sourdough, ask around and see if any of your friends have a ';starter'; living in their fridge or cupboard. This is a mix of flour, water, natural yeast and bacteria that makes sourdough turn sour and rise.





You use some of it to make dough, and feed some more flour and water to the remainder and it re-grows. It's like having a very boring pet you can eat.





Some people call it ';Amish Friendship Bread'; instead of sourdough. You can also buy a kit to make the starter on the internet.





Once you have a nice living starter, you can check the internet for recipes.





The basic recipe for sourdough is to use a regular bread recipe but substitute 1 cup starter for 1/2 cup each of the flour and water, and leave out the yeast. Quadruple the rising time, and make sure it has a nice warm place to rise. Mine rises on top of my stereo amplifier.
