Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup active sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Lightly grease a loaf pan and prepare a warm spot for proofing.
- In a large bowl, mix sourdough starter, warm water, milk, sugar, and butter until smooth. Add flour and salt, then mix to form a soft dough.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the greased pan.
- Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
