Finally made a loaf my kids eat!

Not the traditional sourdough loaf, but my kids don’t like sourdough and I wanted to make them sandwich bread.

500g bread flour, 60g room temp unsalted butter, 12g honey, 10g salt, 50g active starter, 270g warm water.

I mixed everything until hydrated, let rest for 30min.

Then, kneaded by hand for at least 10 minutes. My kids were helping so it was more like 20 minutes.

Let proof covered at room temp for 8-10hrs. Next, shape the dough. I didn’t bench rest. I just stretched it into a rectangle, popped some bubbles and rolled then pinched into a log.

Greased a loaf pan, floured the dough log with rice flour, plopped it in the pan and covered for another 2hrs at room temp for final proof.

Scored, sprayed with water, then covered with another pan to bake at 425F for 20 min, take off top pan and bake another 20-25min.

It cooled overnight before I sliced the bread and it’s perfect. Crust is so good the kids didn’t ask for it to be cut off.
