Quick and Easy Sourdough Dinner Rolls
A super delicious and easy recipe for sourdough rolls.
Equipment
- Stand mixer with dough hook
Ingredients
- 1 packet Instant Yeast
- 1/2 cup Warm Water about 110 degrees
- 1 cup Active Sourdough Starter
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 stick Butter
- 6 cups Flour of choice All Purpose or Bread Flour
- 2 cups Milk
Instructions
- Mix the yeast into the 1/2 cup of warm water and set aside.
- Add the Milk, Butter, Salt, and Sugar to a medium saucepan and heat on top of stove on low heat until butter is melted and sugar and salt are dissolved completely.
- Once everything is dissolved, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about ten minutes before proceeding.
- Add the saucepan mixture, the water and yeast mixture, and then sourdough starter to a stand mixer and combine.
- Add six cups of flour slowly, one cup at a time allowing the flour to get mixed in before adding the next cup.
- Dough should be kind of sticky, but not sticking to the side of the bowl too much. If you think your dough is too sticky, add another 1/2 cup of flour.
- Add the dough to a large bowl that has been greased. Then flip it over so that both sides of the dough have come in contact with the greased surface of the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a tea towel or saran wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 45 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, you will punch it back down. You can choose to allow it to rise a second time if you'd like, or you can go ahead and start rolling out your rolls.
- Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into a ball in your hands. The dough balls should be about the size of a large walnut. Smooth them out pinching the seams together at the bottom of the roll.
- Place two walnut sized balls of dough into a greased muffin pan. Fill each muffin tin with two walnut sized balls of dough.
- Cover the pans with a tea towel and allow the rolls to rise again. They should double in size.
- Then bake each pan for approximately 18 minutes. Once the rolls are baked, rub butter over the tops of each roll while they are still hot.
