Bread Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed) Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm milk Warm, not hot.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (for garlic mixture) Melted.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine warm milk and sugar together in a bowl.
  • Add the yeast and let it sit for five minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix the sourdough discard with melted butter until thorough.
  • Add the flour and salt to the sourdough mixture.
  • Knead everything together for about 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 90 minutes until it doubles in size.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  • While waiting, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small pan.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook it gently. Stir in the chopped parsley at the end, then set aside to cool.

Assembling the Bread

  • Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle.
  • Brush the garlic butter mixture generously all over the dough.
  • Cut the dough into small squares with a knife.
  • Stack the squares in groups of five and arrange them vertically in a greased pan so they fit snugly together.
  • Brush the remaining garlic butter on top of the stacks.
  • Cover the pan lightly with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F during this time.
  • Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until it is golden brown. The top should look beautifully browned.
  • Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freeze tightly wrapped for about a month.
