Milk bread

This is a very simple bread with sourdough that can be done by anyone without any bread baking skills or any dedicated utensils like a baking stone or bannetons. A simple cake pan is enough. I wanted to make a different bread than I do most of the time, with a soft texture and a white, milky crumb. And here it is. If you cannot eat the crunchy crust of a country bread type, you might want to turn to this kind of bread. The crust is also soft and it barely distinguish in texture from the crumb. Although it is not my favorite type of bread, it was well appreciated by others who were more used with soft breads.

Ingredients:

• 430ml cold milk
• 220ml water (room temperature)
• 240g sourdough (100% hydration)
• 50g butter (melted)
• 1000g white wheat flour
• 18g salt
• (optionally) 1 beaten egg to brush the top of the bread.
