Sourdough Discard Dinner Rolls

INGREDIENTS US CustomaryMetric 1x2x3x

  • ▢2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ▢2 tablespoon sugar
  • ▢1 teaspoon salt
  • ▢1 ½ teaspoon instant yeast
  • ▢1 cup sourdough discard
  • ▢½ cup milk lukewarm
  • ▢1 large egg
  • ▢⅓ cup butter unsalted and melted
  • ▢1 egg yolk plus 1 teaspoon water for egg wash or 1 tablespoon milk + 1 teaspoon honey for milk and honey wash (I didn’t do the wash)

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer if using one, mix all dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Stir to combine.
  • Add lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg and sourdough discard, and mix until the dough forms. You can do it using the dough hook of a stand mixer for about 2 minutes, or you can do it with a spoon if you’re doing everything by hand.
  • Knead the dough for 6 minutes if using a stand mixer, 8 to 10 minutes if doing it by hand. The dough should be smooth and tacky and have a good windowpane.
  • Cover the dough, and let it rise for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until it doubles.
  • Deflate the dough, punching it with your hand. In a clean surface, divide in 9 pieces, and shape each piece into a tight ball.
  • To shape the rolls, fold each piece over itself until tight (about 6 to 8 folds). Pinch all ends together in the center, and place the shaped roll into a lined baking pan, pinched side facing down. For more visual information, check the video.
  • Let them rise again until light and puffy. It should take about 40 minutes.
  • While the shaped rolls rise, preheat the oven to 350°F, placing the rack into the middle shelf.
  • Brush each roll with egg yolk wash, or milk and honey wash if preferred (the rolls at the photos were baked with milk and honey wash).
  • Bake dinner rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until they’re golden brown at the top.
  • Let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
