Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Sourdough Starter Use a fed and bubbly starter for optimal fermentation.
  • 4 cups Bread Flour Substituting with all-purpose flour results in a softer texture.
  • 4 large Eggs Free-range eggs enrich the dough.
  • 1 cup Salted Butter Softened and at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Use room temperature milk for a moist dough.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Sweetens and aids in browning.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for balancing sweetness.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large Egg Mix with water for a perfect glaze.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Bread pan
  • saucepan
  • Whisk
  • pastry brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the milk to approximately 37°C (98°F) and whisk in the sugar until dissolved.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine sourdough starter, bread flour, and room temperature eggs. Mix until it forms a rough dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Add softened butter and salt, then knead for 8 to 20 minutes until silky and elastic.
  4. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until increased by about 50% (1 to 2 hours).
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into 100g pieces, and shape into smooth balls. Place them in a greased bread pan.
  6. Cover the pan and let it rise again until puffy (1 to 2 hours).
  7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  8. Prepare an egg wash and brush it gently over the top of the dough.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, covering with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
  10. Brush with melted butter upon removal from the oven and cool before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is fed and bubbly for enhanced flavor. Refrigerate dough briefly if it gets warm and avoid adding extra flour during mixing.
