Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted October 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2020 Sourdough sandwich bread. My go to recipe for starter discard. I use the discard to make a levain the night before baking. This morning I added a blend of bread flour (4 cups) and 1 cup whole wheat. 1 1/2 cups water, 4 Tblsp softened butter, 5 Tblsp dry milk, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and 2 tsp instant yeast. Dough doubled in an hour. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted October 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 27, 2020 Hold the sour and add some honey and I'm there. Why do you use water and dried milk? I use warmed milk in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use warmed milk in mine. According to the Google, milk contains glutathione, an enzyme that weakens gluten. Drying or heating milk, destroys this enzyme. Milk adds a better crumb and color to the loaf. Using dry milk gives a better rise than wet milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to experiment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
