  • 406g bread flour or strong all-purpose flour
  • 100g sourdough discard
  • 8g salt
  • 45g room-temperature butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix lukewarm water, milk, sugar, and yeast. If using active dry yeast, let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy; if using instant yeast, proceed immediately.
  2. Stir in flour, sourdough discard, and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Knead in softened butter until fully combined.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until soft and elastic or use a stand mixer.
  4. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours or until doubled (optional: refrigerate overnight).
  5. Shape the dough and place it seam-side down in a lined loaf pan. Let it rise again until puffed up.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool completely before slicing.
