Ingredients

Sweet Stiff Starter (Day 1)
  • 60 g Active Sourdough Starter
  • 180 g Bread Flour
  • 80 g Water
  • 30 g Sugar
The Dough (Day 2)
  • All of the Sweet Stiff Starter
  • 460 g Bread Flour
  • 150 g Milk
  • 200 g Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
  • 30 g Sugar
  • 30 g Honey
  • 8 g Salt
  • 40 g Butter softened
  • 1 g Dry Instant Yeast

Method

Day 1 - Starter Build
  1. Dissolve sugar in water, then whisk in the starter. Add flour and form into a ball.
  2. Let ferment at 18°C (64°F) for 10–12 hours until tripled in volume. A Sourdough Home is recommended for this stage.
Day 2 - Mixing & Bulk Fermentation
  1. In a stand mixer, combine milk, yogurt, sugar, honey, starter, yeast, and bread flour. Mix into a rough dough.
  2. Add salt and mix for 2 minutes. Add softened butter and knead for 10 minutes until the dough passes the windowpane test.
  3. Cover and proof at 24–28°C (76–80°F) for 2–3 hours. Use a Folding Proofer to maintain this temp.
  4. Transfer to the fridge for overnight cold fermentation.
Day 3 - Shaping & Baking
  1. Divide cold dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a tight cylinder.
  2. Arrange 3 rolls in each 9x4 inch baking pan.
  3. Cover and proof at 28–32°C (80–84°F) for 2–3 hours until doubled.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Upon loading the bread, immediately lower temp to 325°F (163°C).
  5. Bake for 25–28 minutes. Brush with butter immediately after baking for a soft, shiny crust.

Notes

This recipe is egg-free. The yogurt provides the richness and soft crumb typically found in brioche-style breads.
