This is a butter croissant 🥐 sourdough loaf, and easily 💯/10!! The crust came out superbly flaky, the crumb, so buttery and super soft. The bottom did burn , I’m assuming some of the butter leaked out ? It was a bit tricky process bc you have to keep the dough somewhat cool while proofing so the butter doesn’t melt, I had to lower the ac just for this bread lol. Would recommend doing in the cooler months!!
120 g starter
340 g water
7 g salt, bc I used salted butter
500 g bread flour, KA AP
115 g salted butter , Kerrygold , grated, cold
Mixed the dough, autolyse (I think that’s what it’s called lol) , 4 sets stretch & folds , 30 minutes apart, added the grated butter on the 2nd & 3rd stretch , bulk rise for about 8 hrs in the cool AC, pre shaped, counter rested 30 minutes, shaped , overnight in the fridge, preheated Dutch oven 450°, straight from fridge into the oven, decreased to 425° for 25 minutes, lid on, 20 minutes lid off. Rested 2 hrs. Sliced. Devoured. 😅

Ooo a butter croissant sourdough loaf sounds so good!! Id love to try this. Amazing job🤩👏👏
Man the amount of posts I have saved from this sub is getting crazy 😂 looks so good!
I have made this recipe a few times now, its sooooo good!
Did you freeze your butter before grating? It looks really separate and easy to mix through, kinda like little balls
Did the bottom burn? Did you use parchment or go up to 500 degrees? I noticed I had a loaf burn at 500 instead of 450.
Oh wauw this looks good. I’ve been meaning to try this out but I’m too afraid with my 90 degree climate. What temp did you put the AC on?
Wow this looks so good
Great job! Your loaf looks so good! ☺️👍
I always put rice under my parchment paper.. to keep the bottom from burning.. about 1/2 cup I’ve tried it without it and every time it burns…. Just put the rice in right before you bake the loaf.
I am getting so hungry looking at your fabulous loaf, I am about to blow my diet and go eat some sourdough bread from the freezer, but it would not taste anywhere NEAR as delicious as this buttery confection. What a great job you did with this difficult recipe!!
