Sunday, bread day. It’s about an hour from risen enough to start the oven up. Then I’ll pop it in the freezer to chillax for 30-40 minutes of oven preheating.

But THIS, bread friends, is an experiment.

It’s my first time ever adding MILK POWDER to sourdough bread. (Ratios/weights for all ingredients are in the alt text for the image.)

Milk powder is often a baker’s secret weapon but in bread is an unknown for me. #baking #bread #sourdough #food

Curious how the milk powder addition to the bread went?

Just took it out of the oven. Looks great so far! I’ll cut into it in the morning. Held its shape and rose higher, both better than it has done since I started baking on a pizza steel. I’m optimistic!

@snarkysteff This is the second sourdough post that I seen talking about adding milk powder... Mind sharing what the milk powder addition is for?

@Dustwin There's a link to an article in the first post, with the unbaked dough, that explains why bakers use it in a variety of things. In bread, it adds natural sugar and protein, both of which help gluten do its thing.
