These sourdough rolls were definitely what I was most proud of at this years Friendsgiving. I have been working with sourdough for the past few months. This was my first attempt at rolls and they were an absolute knock out. For this recipe I took a few I found online and mixed them together with my own spin and hoped for the best.

Tips and Tricks: Make sure your starter is very active. It should double in size before you use it. I fed mine about 5 hours before I started this process. I invested in quality ingredients and I believe you could tell the difference this included Bobs Red Mill flour, Organic whole milk, Fresh pasteurized eggs, and Kerrygold butter.

Directions: Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix. In your stand mixer add starter, water and milk. Mix this until well combined. Add your dry ingredients to your starter mixture and kneed with your dough hook on a low speed for 5 mins. If you don’t have a Stand mixer you can kneed this by hand. (Google, Tik tok and Youtube are great resources for kneeding techniques) This dough will be very sticky. Move your dough mixture to the countertop and Slap and fold in the room temperature butter. Continue to use the slap and fold method for about 5-7 mins. Place dough in a covered bowl in the fridge to cold ferment overnight. The following morning remove the dough from the fridge and begin to shape your rolls. This recipe makes 16 dinner rolls. Shape each piece into a tight ball by bringing all the edges of each dough into the middle, then flip it upside down so it’s seam-side facing down. Use flour as needed if the dough is too sticky to work with. Leave the dough balls to rise for 3-4 hours in a warm spot until doubled in size. Once doubled use your egg mixture and brush the tops of each roll. Bake at 392 degrees ( I know oddly specific) for 25 mins or until the rolls have reached a deep golden brown. Serve with butter and Enjoy!
