Description
Make soft, fluffy dinner rolls quickly using your sourdough discard. This recipe requires no extra commercial yeast and is ready in about an hour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup active sourdough discard (unfed starter)
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 105-115F)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, warm milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, sugar, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly elastic. Do not over-knead.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- Place the dough balls close together in a greased 9×9 inch baking pan for pull-apart style rolls, or spaced apart on a baking sheet.
- Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the rolls rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes. They will puff up slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) during the last 10 minutes of resting.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Immediately brush the tops of the hot rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Use discard that is at room temperature for best mixing results.
- If your discard is very wet, you may need to add one extra tablespoon of flour.
- For extra soft rolls, cover them with a clean towel immediately after brushing with butter while they cool slightly.
