Soft Sourdough Dinner Rolls Recipe

Here is a recipe for soft and fluffy sourdough dinner rolls. They're so easy to make without a mixer!

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Add to this the water, milk, and sourdough starter and mix into a shaggy dough.

Tip this dough onto a work surface and knead it for a few minutes. Add in the cubed butter, a few cubes at a time, and knead them in.

The butter is going to make it extra sticky but the dough will have some strength already from the previous kneading.

Add the dough to a large bowl and let the dough rest in a warm spot (ideally around 25°C/77°F) for 3-4 hours.

Perform 3-4 sets of stretch and folds during this fermenting time, one every hour.

Pull the dough from the bowl onto a floured work surface. Cut into 16 equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a tight ball.

Place the shaped rolls into a lined 9x9 inch baking dish. Let them rise until doubled in size.

Whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash. Brush the top of the rolls with egg wash.

Bake until deeply browned.

After baking brush the warm dinner roll tops with melted butter. This melted butter creates a soft crust and gives extra flavor.
