INGREDIENTS

– all-purpose flour – sourdough starter – milk – sugar – butter

1.

3.

Knead the Dough Increase the mixer speed slightly and knead for about 20 minutes. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and pass the windowpane test.

4.

Rest and Fold Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. Perform 2–3 sets of stretch-and-folds, spacing each set about 30 minutes apart.

5.
