Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup non-dairy or regular dairy milk (warmed to 110℉)
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine warmed milk, yeast, and sugar. Mix in flour, sourdough discard, beaten egg, chopped herbs, salt, and garlic powder. Add melted butter gradually while mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3–4 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (60–90 minutes).
- Prepare the topping by mixing softened butter with herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Reserve some for later.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces; flatten each piece and spread with topping before folding.
- Arrange the pieces in a greased loaf pan and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and bake for about 30–40 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with reserved topping mixture before cooling briefly in the pan.
