Sweet Stiff Sourdough starter

dough

day 1

starter

10 pm dissolve sugar in the water, add starter and whisk together, add flour, mix well, form a ball, place in jar, cover let ferment at room temp 74-78F until it increases in volume in 2 or more times.
Stiff sweet starter will have lower hydration than regular liquid starter and will help us to lower the acidity of final product (learn how to make sourdough starter from scratch here).

Day 2

dough

8 am in a bowl of stand mixer add milk, heavy cream, an egg, sugar, stiff sourdough starter (100g) ,and the flour, mix all together let autolyse for 30 min.
During the autolyse period the flour becomes fully hydrated. This activates gluten development.

During that time perform 2 stretches and folds.
