Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine warmed milk, yeast, and sugar. Add flour, sourdough discard, beaten egg, herbs, salt, and garlic powder. Mix on low speed.
Gradually add melted butter; increase speed to medium until shaggy dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth and slightly tacky (about 3–4 minutes).
Place in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in size (60–90 minutes).
Prepare topping by mixing softened butter with herbs, garlic powder, and salt; reserve some for later.
Shape dough into pieces, filling each with the butter mixture before placing them in a greased loaf pan.
Let rise until puffy (30–45 minutes). Preheat oven to 350℉.
Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes; cover with foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until golden brown.
Brush with reserved butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before cooling slightly.
