If I haven't done so before, here is what I do to get sourdough breads using
Krusteaz bread mixes.

For some time now, I have been using Kruseaz bread mixes.  I have been 
getting the in variety packs of six different kinds.  They come with 
packets of yeast.  Lately, I have made sourdough breads using the mixes but 
not using the yeast that comes in the packs.

I use about a tablespoon of starter and then mostly follow the instructions
except for not adding the commercial yeast.  I adjust slightly by either
adding a bit of flour or using a little less water to compensate for the
flour/water ratio.   I use the dough cycle.  After the second knead, I place
the dough into a bread pan.  I let it sit until the bread has been leavened.
These days, with the cooler weather, It takes about 24 hours to complete the
rise.  The result however is an excellent bread.

If there are any questions, I will try to answer them.
