Best Easy Texas Sourdough Rolls Recipes

SOFT SOURDOUGH DINNER ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• 8 PM Feed starter: 12 hours before you plan to mix the dough, add the ingredients to make ½ cup (100 g) of active sourdough starter to a clean jar. Stir until combined, loosely cover the jar and let the starter rise at room temperature. (The ingredients will create a total of 115 g active starter but, because some of it will stick to the sides of the jar during the transfer, we are making a little more than needed.) The sourdough starter is ready to use when it has doubled in size and there are plenty of bubbles on the surface and sides of the jar.
• 7:30 AM Melt butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter, milk, sugar and salt together over low heat. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
• 8 AM Mix the dough: Add the flour and active sourdough starter to the bowl and stir with a spatula until the ingredients are combined and there are no dry bits left in the bowl. Cover the bowl and allow to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• 9 AM First rise: Perform 3 sets of stretch and folds spaced 30 minutes apart, keeping the bowl covered between sets. To perform a set, pick up the dough on one side and stretch it up and over itself. Turn the bowl a quarter turn and repeat this step until you have turned the bowl a full circle. After the final set, cover and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours or until it has risen by 50% in size. (See notes.)
• 12 PM Shape and Second rise: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 12 pieces, approximately 65 grams each. Shape each piece into a ball by gathering up the sides and pinching them together. Turn the dough over so that the seam side is down on the work surface and gently form a smooth ball. Arrange them in a lightly greased glass baking dish. Cover the dish with a tea towel and let rise for 3-4 hours.
• 4 PM Bake: About 20 minutes before you are ready to bake preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. The internal temperature of the rolls should be 190°F when fully baked. Brush the top of the roll with melted butter and serve.

EASY TEXAS SOURDOUGH ROLLS

Steps:

• In very large bowl, add water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Allow to set about 5 minutes until mixture is bubbly.
• Add sugar, oil, buttermilk. Mix well.
• Add 3 cups flour, salt, soda, and baking powder. Mix well. Then add rest of flour. Mixture will be thin.
• Cover and place in fridge until ready to use. (Mixture thickens up.)
• To use: On floured counter, place desired amount of dough. Sprinkle top with flour and flatten to about 1/2 inch. Use biscuit cutter dipped in flour, or a sharp knife dipped in flour and cut into wedges or squares.
• Place rolls on well greased baking sheet or pan. Bake at 350-400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
• If you like the old-fashioned way, use melted bacon drippings in your pan to dip and turn the rolls in before baking. This is how we made them on the ranch.
