- Prep Time: 20minutes minutes
- Cook Time: 20minutes minutes
- Additional Time: 12hours hours
- Total Time: 12hours hours 40minutes minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 3 cups bread flour all purpose will also work
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temp
Instructions
- Feed sourdough starter 4-12 hours before starting your dough. It should be nice and bubbly before mixing the ingredients together.
- In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add active sourdough starter, bread flour, water, butter, salt, and honey. Knead for 5-10 minutes, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is stretchy. It should also pass the ‘window pane’ test.
- Place in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap, beeswax wrap, or a tight lid. You don’t want to cover breads with just a towel, because it can leave a hard, not-so-desirable skin on the dough.
- Allow to ferment 8-12 hours at room temperature. You can place the in the fridge after the bulk ferment if you want to wait to bake the dough.
- Divide into 6 equal parts and shape.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Roll it up and pinch the ends closed.
- Place the shaped rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet (seam side down) and allow to double in size. This can take 1-3 hours.
- Once it has risen, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Slash the rolls with a razor if desired.
- Spray the tops of them with water before baking and halfway during baking time. This make for a crispy outside and soft interior.
- Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool, and enjoy.
Notes
