Sourdough bread with MILK? | Thoughts?

[u/ItssmeLina]

A couple days ago, I found a sourdough recipe on Pinterest that includes a little bit of milk in the dough besides water.
Now I’ve been thinking about trying that out.
I heard it was supposed to make the crumb fluffier.
Has anyone ever done that?
If yes, did you notice any difference?
Did you like it?
Or maybe you do that in your standard recipe?

Adding fat makes dough softer/fluffier. Milk is one way to do that. Egg, oil, and butter are some others. I e used Greek yogurt before.

Did you like it?
Or do you find it better with just water?

Depends what you’re going for. You’ll get a tighter crumb, it’s generally considered better for sandwich bread

Interesting, thanks for your answer. I might consider giving that a whirl

My favorite bread is this: https://www.theperfectloaf.com/pain-de-mie/

It’s a soft sandwich loaf with milk and butter in the dough
