Comment préparer Light Almost Airy Sourdough Bread

Proof the yeast: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Combine wet ingredients: Add 1 cup milk (any kind), your 2-week-old sourdough starter (about ½ cup, or more if needed), 2 teaspoons salt, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter to the yeast mixture.
Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in 3 cups all-purpose flour, adding more as needed to form a soft but manageable dough. If using a very thin starter, you might need up to an additional ½ cup of flour.
Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
First rise: Shape the dough into a rectangular loaf, place in a well-greased 9x5 inch loaf pan (or two smaller pans). Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
Bulk fermentation: Let rise in a warm place (ideally 75-80°F) for 1-3 hours, or until doubled in size. You can warm your oven to 100°F for 5 minutes, turn it off, and place the bread inside to rise.
Final proof: The dough is ready when it peaks over the edges of the pan.
Preheat & bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake for 10 minutes uncovered.
Tent & bake: Cover the loaf loosely with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until a bread thermometer inserted into the center reads 190-200°F (88-93°C) and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool & serve: Remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter to keep the crust moist. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
