100% Homemade Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Looking for the perfect sourdough dinner rolls for the holidays? This step-by-step tutorial will show you how you can make the fluffiest, most delicious rolls.
This recipe, originally from my friend Lisa at Farmhouse on Boone, has become my go-to for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. These instructions are from Lisa's website, however I have added my own notes to each one that I found helped when I made them :)
***These rolls are best served fresh as they can become quite dense over time.
Ingredients
- -1/2 cup sourdough starter
- -1/4 cup sugar
- -3/4 cup warm water
- -1/4 cup melted butter
- -1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- -2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- -Egg, for egg wash
Directions
- In a stand mixer bowl, add ingredients.
- Mix on a medium speed, for my mixer that is 3 but I believe on a KitchenAid it would be around 2
- Place in a bowl and cover with a cover, beeswax wrap, or plastic (It is important not to let the dough dry out).
- Allow to rise overnight (8-12 hours). This also depends on your house temp, for me I can let this rise up to 15 hours in the winter. You can also put it in the oven with the light on.
- Divide the dough into eight equal parts.
- Form the dough into balls. I pinch the dough into the middle and then flip it over and use the tackiness from the counter to create tension in the balls.
- Place the shaped rolls into a greased 9×13 rectangle dish or a 12" cast iron skillet. Cover with a damp towel. Allow it to rise until doubled, approximately one to two hours (I like to do this in the oven with the light on). -Preheat oven to 375f.
- Brush top with egg wash (optional, but will give it that lovely golden color).
- Place the rolls into the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they start turning golden brown and the internal temp is 200f.
