Ingredients
240g leaven (20g sourdough starter + 60g water + 30g bread flour +30g wholemeal flour)
2/3 cup whole milk
30ml water
10g fine salt
15g granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
45g unsalted butter, melted
450g unbleached bread flour
Directions
Combine the starter, milk, water, sugar, egg and butter in the bowl of a mixer.
Add the bread flour and knead with the mixer’s dough hook for about 5 minutes, until the dough forms a soft and elastic ball. Leave it to rise for 30 minutes.
Butter table top, transfer bread dough to table. Knead for about 5 minutes, add salt. Stretch and fold, transfer the dough into a lightly buttered bowl and leave it to rise until doubled in size, about 30min.
Stretch and fold every 30 minutes for 2 hours.
After the last stretch and fold, gently cut into 8 equal portions, pull them into balls, pinching them tightly closed underneath and put them seam-side-down on a well floured baking tray. Cover them loosely with cloth and let them proof in a warm place for about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
Score the top of the bun into a cross. Lightly brush the buns with extra milk and sprinkle with flour.
Turn oven down to 200°C (390°F) and put the buns on the centre shelf. Bake for about 20 minutes, until browned and they sound hollow when tapped underneath.
