1 cup warm milk (100 degrees F / 38 degrees C)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine softened

1 teaspoon water

Equipment

12 inch Dutch oven

Directions

Dough

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with the sugar, salt, and dry yeast. Add milk and softened butter or margarine. Stir in the starter. This will create a runny yet well-combined mixture.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface then knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turn once to oil surface, and cover. Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
Punch down the dough then let rest for 15 minutes.

Egg Wash

Whisk together the egg and water until smooth and a little frothy.

To Bake

Form the sourdough into two loaves and place them in the Dutch oven. Brush top with egg wash. Allow it to rise for another 1 hour, or until doubled.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
