- 25g granulated sugar
- 406g bread flour or strong all-purpose flour
- 100g sourdough discard
- 8g salt
- 45g room-temperature butter
Instructions
- Combine lukewarm water, milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. If using active dry yeast, let sit until foamy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Cool completely before slicing.
