Soft Sourdough Discard Sandwich Bread Easy NoWaste Recipe with Honey

Instructions:

1. Combine liquids. Whisk the 200g warm water, 45g honey, and 40g melted butter in your mixing bowl. Note: Ensuring the honey is fully dissolved helps it distribute evenly.
2. Add discard. Stir in the 150g sourdough discard until it's mostly broken up. Note: It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, a few small lumps are fine.
3. Mix dry ingredients. Add the 450g bread flour, 10g salt, and 7g instant yeast to the bowl.
4. Knead the dough. Using a dough hook, mix on low for 2 minutes, then medium for 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and clears the sides of the bowl.
5. First rise. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 1 hour 30 mins until it has doubled in size.
6. Shape the loaf. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a rectangle, and roll it up tightly like a sleeping bag.
7. Second rise. Place the roll into your greased loaf pan and cover. Let it rise for 1 hour until the dough sits about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
8. Preheat and prep. Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly brush the top of the loaf with a little extra melted butter or milk.
9. Bake. Slide the pan into the center rack for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Cool down. Remove from the pan immediately and place on a wire rack. Note: Leaving it in the pan will cause steam to build up, making the sides soggy.
