Does anyone have a soft Italian like sandwich bread recipe that uses honey, olive and milk? My boyfriend absolutely loves my enriched sandwich bread with lots of butter, farm fresh eggs etc, but wants a leaner version for his lunches that includes honey, olive and milk. I use a sponge and low yeast for long counter fermentation. I was thinking 3 percent honey, 5 percent olive, 2 percent salt, and milk in final dough. My sponge is always 50 percent of my flour and 70 percent hydration. I also only use 1/4 tsp and ferment for a few hours or until peak at 76 degrees. I never add anymore yeast. Here's my recipe I'm thinking below for him
400 g flour total king Arthur bread flour
Sponge: 70% hydration 50% of flour
200 g flour
140 water
1/4 tsp yeast or 1g
Ferment until its ready. I have a lifetime. Lol
Dough
200 g flour
120 g milk
20 g olive oil
12 g honey
8 g Sea salt
No extra yeast.
260 g total of milk and water.
