• Once your starter is active, start making the dough by combining water, salt, sugar, softened butter, starter, and bread flour in your kitchen aid mixer bowl.
• Combine everything into a shaggy looking ball and let it rest for 15 mins.

Stretch and Folds

• After 15 mins, do your first stretch and pull, cover, and let it rest for another 15 mins.
• Next do another set of stretch and folds, cover, and let it rest for 15 mins.

Bulk Fermentation

• Do the final stretch and fold, cover, and leave it on top of your fridge or on your counter overnight for bulk fermentation.
• In the morning, take the dough out of the bowl onto the counter and form it into a loaf shape to fit into your loaf pan.
• Let it rise for about 2 hours or until the bread has risen to the top of the bread loaf pan.

Bake

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
• Bake for 30-40 mins until the top of the bread is golden brown.
• Cool the loaf before slicing in.
