Ingredients:
100 grams sourdough discard (unfed sourdough starter) (1/2 cup)
250 grams warm temperature water (100-110 degrees) (1 cup + 2 Tbs)
20 grams honey or sugar (1 Tbs)
50 grams melted butter (4 Tbsp)
500 grams all-purpose flour or bread flour (4 cups)
7 grams instant yeast (2 1⁄4 tsp)
10 grams salt (2 tsp)

Instructions:
Measure all ingredients into a mixing bowl and let knead in stand mixer for 6-8 minutes (I use speed 2). If dough is too sticky, add 1/8 c more flour or if too dry, add 1 Tbs more water until a nice smooth ball of dough forms. Cover bowl with a warm wet tea towel and let dough rise for about 45 minutes to an hour. Turn out of bowl, press out dough, and shape into a loaf. Place into a well-oiled bread loaf pan. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and let dough rise until it peaks just above the sides of the loaf pan, usually about 30 minutes. Bake for 30-35minutes. Let cool if you can stand it, and slice. Enjoy your delicious sourdough discard sandwich bread!
