Servings: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 25 g butter or coconut oil softened
- 220 g whole milk
- 40 g sugar or 20g honey
- 8 g sea salt
- 100 g active sourdough starter
- 400 g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, add in all ingredients. Mix on low speed for 6-8 minutes until combined. If the dough is super sticky, you can sprinkle in 1 tbsp of flour at a time until it no longer sticks to the sides.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it back into the bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap (I love to use a shower cap), and let it rise for 8-12 hours at room temperature. It should double in size.
- When the first rise is down, dump your dough onto a floured counter. Shape into a ball. Cut into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a little tight ball.
- Put them in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover with a wet tea towel & let rise for 2-4 hours. You can also refrigerate them at this point if you'd like for 1-2 days. Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before baking.
- Bake at 400F degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush the rolls with extra melted butter right after baking for a glossy finish. Enjoy!
Notes
For Storing: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag to keep them fresh for 2-3 days.
For Freezing: I love to cut them in half, place a piece of parchment paper between them, and freeze them in a ziploc for 2-3 months. They toast beautifully!
