Sourdough dinner rolls

36 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack Active dry yeast
½ cup Warm potato water
½ cup Milk
½ cup Butter or margarine
1 cup Sourdough Starter
¼ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Salt
4½ cup To 5 all-purpose flour
Butter; melted (opt)

Directions

Dissolve yeast in potato water; let set until foamy, 5 to 10 min.

Heat milk and ½ c butter or margarine until just melted; cool to lukewarm. Combine starter, yeast mixture, milk mixture, sugar and salt. Add flour to make a stiff dough; knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to coat surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into rolls. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from from drafts, until doubled, about 45 minutes. If desired, brush with melted butter or margarine before baking in a preheated 375F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 3 to 4 dozen.

Notes: I skipped the last optional butter step and used plain warm water and they turned out well but did not rise too much. Take it for what it's worth.
