Description
A delightful and cozy sourdough pull apart bread made with sourdough discard, herbs, and cheese, resulting in fluffy layers perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup warm milk (or warm water)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, chives, or Italian seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic (optional)
Instructions
- Wake up the yeast. In a large bowl, stir warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the dough. Add sourdough discard, salt, and a couple tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually add flour and mix until shaggy. Knead until smooth, about 6 to 8 minutes by hand, or 4 to 5 minutes with a mixer.
- Cover the bowl and let it rise until doubled, about 60 to 90 minutes.
- Make the filling. Melt butter and stir in herbs, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
- Shape it. Roll dough into a rectangle, brush with herb butter, and sprinkle cheese. Cut into squares and stack in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise until puffy, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Let cool for 10 minutes before pulling apart.
