Ingredients

• 120 grams Active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
• 240 milliliters Warm water
• 30 milliliters Olive oil
• 8 grams Salt
• 400 grams All-purpose flour (or bread flour)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water. Stir until the starter is dissolved.

Step 2

Add olive oil and salt to the mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, 50 grams at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough starts coming together, switch to kneading by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook.

Step 4

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can lightly flour your hands or the work surface, but avoid adding too much flour.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours for the bulk fermentation. The dough should double in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll by rolling it into a smooth ball and placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let them proof for an additional 1-2 hours, or until they have doubled in size.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls are proofed, bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
