  • Total Time: 130
  • Yield: 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

✓ 200g sourdough discard
✓ 430g warm water (around 95-105°F)
✓ 10g instant yeast
✓ 40g honey
✓ 70g coconut oil (melted and cooled)
✓ 860g bread flour
✓ 20g salt
✓ melted butter (for brushing, optional)

Instructions

✓ Combine the sourdough discard, warm water, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.

✓ Add honey, coconut oil, and bread flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

✓ Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.

✓ Let the shaped dough rest for another hour.

✓ Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

✓ Score the top of the bread and brush with melted butter if desired.

✓ Remove from the oven, let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
