Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Dough scraper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen towel or plastic wrap
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, melted butter, and honey.
  2. Stir in the salt and gradually add the flour.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball.
  6. Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.
  8. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Notes

For an extra golden crust, brush the rolls with melted butter right after baking.
