Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g Active sourdough starter
- 240 ml Warm water
- 400 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Whole wheat flour
- 8 g Salt
- 20 g Honey
- 5 ml Olive oil (optional but very minimal)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water. Mix until the starter is fully dissolved.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, honey, and olive oil (if using). Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size. For a more pronounced sourdough flavor, refrigerate the dough overnight after this rise.
After the first rise, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until puffy and almost doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with water for a crispier crust or a very light coat of olive oil for a more golden finish.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings.
