Instructions
Feed your starter before you go to bed.
Gather all your ingredients needed and set to the side to get started.
Warm the water and milk to 90°F.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together water, milk, yeast, salt, sourdough starter, sugar, and 24g of salted butter. Mix well so the starter dissolves into ingredients.
Then, add in the bread flour and mix that together until it starts coming together. Wet your hands, and mix dough so that it shapes together into a slightly firmer dough ball. Knead the dough in the bowl for 3-4 minutes.
Cover it and let rest for 30 minutes on the counter.
Then, do a series of stretch and folds. I did a total of four of them every 30 minutes.
Allow the dough to rest for 2 ½ hours and the dough should be have risen by 75%. Using the scale, portion out 80g dough balls. Press each dough ball to flatten slightly and then fold in sides continuously until a ball forms. Pinch the bottom of the dough to hold its shape. See video for reference on this.
Butter your baking dish with 1 ½ tablespoon softened butter coating the bottom and sides. Place dough balls into 3 rows of 4 in the 9x11 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let them double in size. This takes me 3 hours in the winter months.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 28-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Once they come out of the oven, coat with melted butter using a pastry brush. Slightly sprinkle some sugar on top and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe is based on having a sourdough starter on the rise.
