Ingredients
Garlic butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced

- 1/4 tsp salt
Dough
- 100 g active sourdough discard or starter
- 110 g bread flour
- 15 g cornstarch
- 60 g evaporated milk
- 4 g salt
- 15 g sugar
- 22 g garlic butter
Instructions
Make the garlic butter
- The night before, make the garlic butter. Mince garlic and brown in a pan with butter. Season with salt and let rest overnight at room temperature for the flavors to marry.
Make the bread
- Warm up the milk in a microwave. Add salt and sugar. While the mixture is warm (but not too hot to touch) mix in sourdough discard until evenly combined. Add cornstarch followed by flour and knead until a rough dough forms. Add garlic butter and continue to knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for ~3 hours
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with cheddar. Cut into rectangles slightly smaller than your baking dish. Loosely stack the bread strips and let rise ~2 hours or until it looks puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Let cool and brush with more garlic butter
