Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Soft, fluffy sourdough dinner rolls with a delightful tang from natural fermentation. Perfect as a side for any meal, these rolls require no commercial yeast and offer flexible fermentation options for busy schedules.
Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast (optional)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and active sourdough starter until combined.
- Add flour, salt, and instant yeast (if using), stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic, or knead in a stand mixer for 5 minutes.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 3-4 hours (shorter if yeast is added).
- Gently punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a tight ball.
- Arrange rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing slightly apart.
- Cover and proof for 1-2 hours until nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with beaten egg if desired.
- Bake rolls for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Remove from oven, brush with melted butter if desired, and cool slightly before serving.
