Sourdough Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1In a stand mixer bowl, add ingredients.
2. 2Knead on speed 2 (for a Kitchen Aid) for 10-15 minutes using the dough hook, until the dough becomes smooth, stretchy, and can pass the windowpane test.
3. 3Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel.
4. 4Allow to rise overnight (8-12 hours). This will depend on how warn or cool your house is. It can take much longer in a cooler house.
5. 5The next day, divide the dough into eight equal parts.
6. 6Roll the dough into balls and create tension. This can be done by rolling the balls against a countertop or by pressing your thumb into the center and then pinching the ends together. This can be repeated a few times.
7. 7Place the shaped rolls into a greased 9×13 or 8x8 dish. Cover with a damp towel. Allow it to rise until doubled, approximately one to two hours.
8. 8Preheat oven to 375
9. 9Brush top with egg wash (optional, but will give it that lovely golden color).
10. 10Place the rolls into the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they start turning golden brown.
11. 11Top with melted butter if desired.
12. 12Allow to cool, and enjoy.
