Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped sage
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 3 cups bread flour
Instructions
- Brown the butter by melting it in a light-colored skillet over medium heat until it turns a caramel-brown color. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Activate the yeast by whisking warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of honey; let it sit until foamy.
- In a mixer, combine activated yeast mixture with remaining honey, egg, brown butter (reserve some for brushing), salt, sage, thyme, and flour. Mix until dough forms.
