Sourdough Potato Rolls


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups Peaked Sourdough Starter
  • 1/4 Cup Mashed Potato
  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour + 1/4 cup for kneading
  • 2 TB Butter
  • 3/4 tsp Salt

Directions

  • Begin by feeding your starter 10-12 hours before you plan on mixing the bread dough. 
  • When the starter has peaked, take out 1 1/2 cups and place in mixing bowl.
  • Add mashed potato and 3/4 cup flour. Mix well
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 3-4 hours. 
  • Add butter, salt and remaining flour. Knead until you work the gluten out, you may add up to an additional 1/4 cup of flour for kneading. If you have an electric mixer with bread hook use that on medium speed for 4-6 minutes, otherwise hand knead for 15-20 minutes until the bread dough is no longer sticky, and has an elastic feel.
  • Place back in lightly greased mixing bowl, cover and let rise for 2 hours.
  • Punch down dough, knead by hand for a few minutes without adding more flour.
  • Pinch off 2 oz portions and form into rolls
  • Place on baking sheet, cover and let rise for 1 hour. Sourdough rolls may placed as close as 1" apart without them touching after baking.
  • Preheat oven to 375°, bake for 15 min 
  • Immediately remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack, brush with butter
  • Makes approximately 16 2oz rolls. Alternatively you may roll the dough out into 1/4" thick and cut triangles to roll into crescent rolls with the same baking time/temp.
