You can also use fresh, bubbly sourdough starter or discard that’s been in your refrigerator for a week.Instant Yeast: This bread requires instant yeast to rise. If you want to use dry active yeast, make sure to activate it in some water/honey before incorporating into the dough. Check out this recipe if you want a natural yeast sandwich bread.Honey:&nbsp;Honey adds a sweetness to the dough. You could also substitute sugar.Coconut Oil: I love the soft texture coconut oil gives the dough. You can add cold or liquid coconut oil to the&nbsp;mixing bowl. The heat from the mixing will help the coconut oil absorb fully into the bread dough. You can substitute any neutral flavored oil.Egg: One large egg is about 50 grams. This recipe makes two loaves of bread; if you want to make one loaf instead, mix up the egg in a bowl and then use 25 grams in the recipe.Water: Warm water, around 95-100 degrees F helps activate the instant yeast and influences how quickly the dough will rise.Salt: Salt enhances flavor. Don’t forget to add it!Bread Flour: I use a good quality bread flour that I buy from my local mill. It’s around 12.5% protein content.Sometimes you just want an incredible way to use up some sourdough discard. This is the best sourdough discard sandwich bread. It uses discard that is stored in your refrigerator or you can substitute bubbly sourdough starter if you prefer. Older discard will give a more sour flavor to this bread and a fresher discard will have a less to nonexistent sour flavor. The main method of leavening in this bread is not through sourdough, but through instant yeast. It won’t have the same health benefits as a full, 100% sourdough loaf, but it is still delicious, homemade bread.To the bowl of a&nbsp;stand&nbsp;mixer, add the warm water, honey and instant yeast. Look for the yeast to give off a “yeasty” smell telling you that it is active and ready. Add the egg, coconut oil, salt, sourdough discard and bread flour and knead together for about 10 minutes until the dough is tacky and strong. Add a little more flour while mixing if needed. The dough will not be overly sticky. If you pinch off a chunk and roll it in your hands it should form a ball with little to no residue left on your fingers. Remove the dough to a bowl or&nbsp;container. Cover with a&nbsp;plastic shower cap&nbsp;or a kitchen towel and place in a warm place (75-80 degrees Fahrenheit)&nbsp;to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.Pro Tip:&nbsp;Warm water will help increase the activity of the instant yeast. Don’t go over 95 degrees F (temperature of baby’s bathwater) or else you could kill the yeast. Look for the yeast to smell “yeasty” when you add it to the liquid ingredients so you know it is active.This recipe for soft sourdough sandwich bread calls for two rises. The first rise, a “bulk” (unshaped) rise, takes place right after mixing the dough. The second rise takes place after the dough is shaped and it goes through a proving process. The first rise will take anywhere from 1-2 hours where the dough will double or triple in size. The amount of time it takes for the dough to rise is dependent on the temperature of the dough, but it will rise thanks to the instant yeast. Cover the dough and let it sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume.Using Sourdough Discard: If you use discard straight from the refrigerator, your dough temperature will be cold. Use warm water to encourage the dough to rise faster.Punch down the dough and separate into two equal pieces, about 840 grams each. Prepare&nbsp;two loaf pans. Pat one of the portions out into a rectangle. Starting at the edge closest to you, roll up the dough. Take care to press in the dough at the seam after each roll and pinch the seam closed at the end. Pinch and round the ends of the dough just a bit to get a uniform loaf. Place in a greased&nbsp;8.5-by-4.5 loaf pan&nbsp;and cover. Repeat with remaining portion of dough.&nbsp;Proof the loaves of bread for about 1-2 hours at warm room temperature (78-80 degrees F) Before baking this bread, make sure that the sandwich bread has risen up over the bread tin AND has filled out the tin. If your dough is colder, it will take longer. &nbsp;Gently press a finger into the dough and see if the dough springs back. If it springs back quickly, the bread needs to keep rising. If it springs back just a little, it’s time to bake. Watch the video below to see the difference.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake sourdough discard sandwich bread for 40 minutes. The loaves will rise quite a bit in the oven. After 40 minutes, pull the loaves out of the oven and top with melted butter. After about 5 minutes, gently release them from the&nbsp;pans. Allow the loaves to cool completely before slicing and enjoy!This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sourdough discard so you don’t waste it. The older the discard, the more tang you will taste in this bread. If you use a young discard or bubbly sourdough starter the sour flavor will be minimal.Slice the bread, put in a bread bag and store in the freezer.Yes. I usually stick the dough in the fridge before shaping and then shape and proof a day or two later.Yes, you can if you replace the sourdough discard with 200 grams of ripe and bubbly sourdough starter.
