Print

• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 cup active sourdough starter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 spoon sea ​​salt
• 1/3 cup softened butter

1. Add the milk to a large bowl, then add the starter and whisk to combine. Then beat in the eggs until well incorporated. Place the butter in a bowl and mash it to combine with the batter.
2. Add the bread flour and all-purpose flour, sugar and salt to the bowl. Use a wooden spoon, spatula or your hands to mix, making sure the flour is well incorporated. You should be left with stiff dough.
3. Cover the dough with a tea towel and perform 3 sets of stretches and folds over the next hour, every 20 minutes.
4. Place a slightly damp tea towel and a large plate over your bowl, then set aside to rise at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
5. If your house is warm enough, then it should take less than 8 hours.
6. Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours before shaping. Cold dough forms much easier.
7. Dust a work surface with flour and transfer the cleaned dough to it.
8. Divide the dough into 16 pieces.
9. Butter a large baking dish and set aside.
10. Take each piece of dough and stretch and fold each piece as you did with the dough before.
11. Dust one side of the dough with flour, then stretch one end and fold it in half. Roll and repeat until you have a nice ball of dough.
12. Place the ball on a clean surface and use your hands to roll the ball. Repeat with the rest of the rolls, as this will help create a firm skin so the dough will hold its shape as it rises and bakes.
13. Cover the rolls with a tea towel and set aside for large fermentation at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
14. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place your rolls in the oven.
15. Bake your dough rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are a lovely golden brown.
16. Take them out of the oven and brush them with a lot of melted butter. This helps soften baked rolls and adds a wonderful buttery flavor to any moist dinner roll.
17. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Baking tips for successful sourdough dinner rolls

• You can store your leftover rolls in an airtight container or bread bag, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Although I doubt you'll need it as they are incredibly addictive!
• If you happen to have any leftovers you can use them for soups or salads. Just cut them up and make sourdough croutons out of them!
• If your kitchen is too warm, then the rise time will be reduced, so be sure to keep an eye on your dough after shaping.
• Bake the rolls in a glass baking dish, as this will aid in the production of the softest sourdough rolls you will ever have.
