Dough Preparation
- In a stand mixer, combine warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- 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
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
First Rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60 to 90 minutes until doubled in size.
Butter Mixture Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine softened butter, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mix until smooth.
Dividing Dough
- 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
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed up.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 30 minutes, covering with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Finishing Touches
- Remove from the oven, brush with reserved garlic butter, sprinkle flaky sea salt, and let cool before serving.
