Ingredients:
- 200g sourdough discard (unfed, stirred down)
- 120ml warm water (approx. 100°F)
- 7g instant yeast (1 packet)
- 20g honey
- 60g Greek yogurt
- 400g bread flour
- 8g fine sea salt
- 60g unsalted butter (softened)
- 5 cloves fresh garlic (microplaned or finely minced)
- 3 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme)
- 30g parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1g flaky salt
Instructions:
- Combine 120ml warm water, 7g instant yeast, and 20g honey in the bowl of a stand mixer and let sit until foamy.
- Add the 200g sourdough discard, 60g Greek yogurt, and 400g bread flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until a shaggy mass forms.
- Add 8g sea salt and knead with the dough hook for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
- While dough rises, mix 60g softened butter, 5 cloves minced garlic, 3 tbsp fresh herbs, and 30g grated parmesan in a small bowl to create the infusion spread.
- Deflate the dough and roll or pull into sections. Coat each section with the garlic herb butter and layer into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crackling and the interior reaches 190°F.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1g flaky salt while still hot.
- Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
