Orange Noisette Butter Sourdough Sandwich Loaf
Updated: Jun 8, 2021
Bought plenty of fresh oranges for making sourdough muffins to support SPD's charity bake sale. Since I have leftover oranges in my stash, I decided to use them to make a sourdough sandwich loaf for the family.
This recipe is derived from my basic sourdough sandwich loaf, added freshly squeezed orange juice, and elevated it with noisette butter. It turned out delicious with a hint of nuttiness and citrusy notes!


Ingredient
Active Levain or Cold Sourdough Discard 200g
Japanese Bread Flour 250g
Cold Fresh Milk + Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice 110g
Fresh Orange Zest (From 1 Fresh Orange)
Sugar 50g
Sea Salt 5g
Unsalted Butter 50g
Method
Start by melting unsalted butter in a sauce pan using low heat, until it turned golden brown, set aside and let it cool
In a stand mixer, add the sourdough discard/levain, bread flour, sugar, salt, milk, orange juice, orange zest into the mixing bowl except for noisette butter and knead until combined, approx. 3-5 minutes
Add noisette butter, knead until windowpane, pause and stop along the way to scrap down the sides of the bowl, approx. 10-15 minutes
Cover with cloth and proof for 2.5-3 hours, or, rest for 30 minutes (single proofing method)
Punch down the dough to deflate the air, divide accordingly, roll into a ball, and bench rest for 15 minutes
Shape and proof until it reaches 85% of the tin (11cm x 19.5cm x 10.5cm), approx. 3-4 hours (at room temp, 28-30°C)
Preheat oven at 180°C for 15 minutes
Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes (oven setting varies, please observe and adjust accordingly)
Remove from tin and cool for at least 3 hours before slicing
