Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the sourdough starter, melted butter, sugar, and milk until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the rolls tough.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the sourdough starter to activate slightly.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Optional: Brush the top of each roll with additional melted butter for a golden, rich finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm with additional butter, jam, or enjoy as a side to your favorite meal.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent dough texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense rolls. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before portioning to allow flour hydration and starter activation.
- For a glossy, golden top, brush rolls with melted butter before and immediately after baking.
- Check rolls at 12 minutes - ovens can vary, and you want a light golden color, not dark brown.
- If your sourdough starter is very liquid, you might need to add a bit more flour to achieve the right dough consistency.
- These rolls are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days and gently reheated.
