Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 cups water (for boiling)
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.
- Add the flour and salt to the mixture and knead until a soft, elastic dough forms, about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.
- Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round roll.
- Cover the rolls and let them rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.
- Carefully boil each roll for 30 seconds on each side, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush each roll with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until dark golden brown.
- Let rolls cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, try brushing the rolls with melted garlic butter after baking or serve with mustard for dipping.
