- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0 teaspoon salt
- 0 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, mix the sourdough starter, warm milk, sugar, eggs, and softened butter until smooth.
- Add flour, salt, and nutmeg. Mix and knead for 6-8 minutes until dough is soft and slightly tacky.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 6-8 hours until doubled.
