- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, add warm milk, sourdough starter, sugar, egg, and butter. Mix well until smooth.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Slowly add flour and salt. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
Step 4: First Rise
Put the dough into a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise for 4–6 hours or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough gently. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 6: Second Rise
Place the dough balls into a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 2–3 hours until puffy.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown on top.
Step 8: Serve
Remove from the oven and brush with extra butter for a soft shiny finish. Serve warm with butter, soup, or dinner meals.
