Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer, combine warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Gradually add all-purpose flour, sourdough discard, beaten egg, chopped fresh herbs, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Mix on low and add melted butter gradually until smooth.
Kneading
  1. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
First Rise
  1. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60 to 90 minutes until doubled in size.
Butter Mixture Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mix until smooth.
Dividing Dough
  1. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 12 equal pieces, spread a teaspoon of butter mixture on top, and arrange upright in a greased loaf pan.
Second Rise
  1. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed up.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 30 minutes, covering with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Finishing Touches
  1. Remove from the oven, brush with reserved garlic butter, sprinkle flaky sea salt, and let cool before serving.
