Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams active sourdough starter
- 250 ml warm water
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams salt
- 15 grams sugar
- 50 grams unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with warm water and stir until well mixed.
Add the all-purpose flour and stir until a rough dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the water in a process called autolysis.
After the rest period, sprinkle the salt and sugar over the dough. Gently incorporate using a folding method or knead it by hand for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smoother.
Add the softened butter and incorporate it fully into the dough. This may take a few minutes of kneading.
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until it has nearly doubled in size.
After the first rise, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces using a dough scraper.
Shape each piece into a roll by folding the edges into the center, then gently rolling it into a ball.
Place the rolls on a lined baking tray, leaving space between each for expansion.
Cover with a cloth and leave them to rise for another 2-3 hours, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Before baking, lightly brush the tops of the rolls with water or milk for a nice sheen.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
