Same Day Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 310 grams milk
1 1/4 cup
- 57 grams butter
softened, 1/4 cup
- 1 large egg
50 grams
- 100 grams sugar
1/2 cup
- 5 grams salt
1 teaspoon
- 200 grams bubbly sourdough starter
scant 1 cup
- 575 grams bread flour
4 cups
- Egg wash - 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Flaky sea salt
Directions
- 1
Mix together all the ingredients in a stand mixer with a dough hook. I use my Bosch mixer.
- 2
Knead the dough on medium speed for 15-20 minutes until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will seem sticky at first but as it kneads it will come together. If it is still sticky add a little extra flour.
- 3
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Perform the windowpane test by pulling a section of the dough thin enough to see light through without it tearing. If it doesn’t pass, continue to knead for another 5 minutes.
- 4
Place the dough onto a lightly floured counter and form the dough into a ball.
- 5
Place into a bowl covered and keep the dough at 80F. At this temperature, the dough will take about 5-6 hours to double in size. Alternatively, if you would rather have the rolls rise overnight leave them in the mid 70s for 8-10 hours to rise.
- 6
Punch down the dough and place it on the counter. Divide the dough ball into 15 even balls (roughly 85 grams each).
- 7
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 pan. Let the dough balls rise at 80F for 2-3 hours until puffy and risen. To determine if they are ready perform the poke test by lightly flouring a spot on one of the rolls and poking the dough with your finger. If the dough springs back immediately it needs more time, if the dough doesn’t spring back at all they are starting to go over and needs to be baked immediately, and if they slowly spring back they are just right.
- 8
Preheat the oven to 350F. Brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash to get golden brown rolls. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and rolls have an internal temperature of 190F.
- 9
Remove from the oven and brush with 1 Tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt.
