Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter active and bubbly (113 g)
  • 1/4 cup sugar 50 g
  • 3/4 cup warm water 177 g
  • 1/4 cup melted butter 56 g
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 g
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 350 g
  • Egg for egg wash

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer bowl, add ingredients. 
  • Knead on speed 2 (for a Kitchen Aid) for 10-15 minutes using the dough hook, until the dough becomes smooth, stretchy, and can pass the windowpane test.
  • Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel.
  • Allow to rise overnight (8-12 hours). This will depend on how warn or cool your house is. It can take much longer in a cooler house.
  • The next day, divide the dough into eight equal parts.
  • Roll the dough into balls and create tension. This can be done by rolling the balls against a countertop or by pressing your thumb into the center and then pinching the ends together. This can be repeated a few times.
  • Place the shaped rolls into a greased 9×13 or 8x8 dish. Cover with a damp towel. Allow it to rise until doubled, approximately one to two hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Brush top with egg wash (optional, but will give it that lovely golden color).
  • Place the rolls into the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they start turning golden brown.
  • Top with melted butter if desired.
  • Allow to cool, and enjoy.

Notes

  • If you do not have a stand mixer, you can make this recipe by hand. Make sure to knead by hand for 10 minutes.
