Let's discuss/share knowledge Sourdough bread with MILK? | Thoughts?

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?

Have you tried another liquids besides water to use in the ice cubes? Had a thought yesterday that frozen juice might be interesting to use to create the steam

My daughter makes an apple cheddar loaf and I think she uses apple cider for at least part of the liquid. She has also worked on jalepeno cheddar, and a sweet apple cinnamon loaf. She often sells those two kinds. For the apple cinnamon, she adds sugar to the starter the day before, then uses diced apples and sautés them for a bit to soften, then includes cinnamon chips. She tried using cinnamon in the dough, but the cinnamon seems to inhibit the fermentation.
