Ingredients

Scale
  • 120g lukewarm water
  • 120g lukewarm milk
  • 7g instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
  • 25g granulated sugar
  • 406g bread flour or strong all-purpose flour
  • 100g sourdough discard
  • 8g salt
  • 45g room-temperature butter

Instructions

  1. Combine lukewarm water, milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. If using active dry yeast, let sit until foamy.
  2. Mix in flour, sourdough discard, and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Add softened butter and knead by hand or with a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1½ hours until doubled.
  4. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, place it in a lined loaf pan, cover loosely, and let rise until it doubles again.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  6. Cool completely before slicing.
