Make soft, fluffy sourdough discard rolls in about one hour. This quick recipe uses your starter discard for easy, same-day dinner rolls perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough discard
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 105-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Add the sourdough discard, yeast mixture, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Add the beaten egg. Mix until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. This dough will be slightly sticky.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes. The dough will increase in size slightly.
  7. Gently punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. Place the dough balls close together in a lightly greased 9×9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. Immediately brush the tops of the hot rolls with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  12. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For easy make-ahead serving, you can shape the rolls and place them in the pan. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then bake as directed.
  • These rolls are excellent for Thanksgiving sides when you need a quick bread option.
