Soft Sourdough Dinner Rolls
These sourdough dinner rolls are the perfect side for any holiday meal including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Their soft texture paired with the slight tang of sourdough creates a roll to die for.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fed sourdough starter (fed 4-12 hours before using)
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or softened butter)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- 2 Tbsp melted butter for brushing tops
Instructions
- In a big mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, avocado oil or butter, and milk.
- Add salt and flour, mix until a dough forms and everything is combined.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand or with a bread hook attached to a mixer for 6 minutes.
- Place the kneaded dough in a clean bowl, cover it with a towel.
- Let it sit at room temperature for 10-12 hours to bulk ferment (needs to double in size).
- Once the bulk ferment is done, divide the dough into 8 similar-sized pieces and roll them into balls.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough balls slightly touching each other.
- Cover the baking sheet with a kitchen towel and let rolls rise 2 hours.
- After this you can continue the recipe or place them in the fridge for up to 12 hours if you need more time.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 16-18 minutes.
- After baking, brush the rolls with melted butter and place them on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
