Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
16 Rolls
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup oil, plus some for oiling the bowl
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 57 grams ripe sourdough starter (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. In a small pot over medium heat, warm the milk, oil, and sugar until the mixture reaches 100 F. Remove from heat.
  2. Whisk in the starter and yeast until fully combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add in the milk mixture and knead until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
  5. Heat oven to 425 F.
  6. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a 10 inch long log. Cut each log into 1-1/2 inch long pieces.
  7. Place the pieces cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise again until doubled in size.
  8. Bake until just starting to brown and firm on the outside, about 15 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating.
