Ingredients
- 1 kilogram all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 24 grams sugar
- 18 grams salt
- 100 grams bubbly, active starter
- 540 grams warm water
Directions
- Combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the butter is in small pieces and evenly distributed. Add the starter and water and continue mixing. Finish by hand if it becomes too difficult for the mixer. The dough will be shaggy and rough looking. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.Switch to the dough hook and knead on LOW speed (not past speed 2) for 6-8 minutes. Cover and rise at room temperature for 10-12 hours, until doubled in size.Shape into 2 loaves and place in buttered loaf pans. Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough rises 1-inch above the rims. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until baked through and well browned. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting to release. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.This bread will keep for up to 5 days at room temperature wrapped tightly or in a plastic bag. Freeze if you want them to last longer than that.
Notes
Rise times: The times suggested in the recipe are rough ballpark estimates, but it could take your dough significantly more or less time than listed here. Go by the visual clues (doubling in volume, rising 1-inch above the rim of the pan) rather than relying on times.
