Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Dough scraper
- Baking dish or sheet pan
- Clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, warm milk, honey, and melted butter until well combined.
- Add salt, whole wheat flour, and all-purpose flour, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rest 3 to 4 hours at room temperature (until the dough doubles in size).
- Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into smooth balls. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between them.
- Cover and allow the rolls to rise for 30 to 45 minutes until the rolls look puffy and slightly spring back when gently pressed.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls until golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and brush with butter if desired before serving.
