Create soft, fluffy sourdough discard rolls quickly. This recipe uses your leftover starter to bake delicious dinner rolls the same day, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough discard
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Combine the sourdough discard and warm milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and the egg until smooth.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  6. Arrange the dough balls close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish for pull-apart rolls, or spaced apart on a baking sheet.
  7. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let them rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. They will puff slightly.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Immediately brush the tops of the hot rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  11. Serve the easy dinner rolls warm.

Notes

  • For extra soft sourdough buns, cover the baked rolls with a clean towel immediately after removing them from the oven while they cool slightly.
  • If you prefer a slightly tangier flavor, use a discard that is 12 to 24 hours old.
  • This recipe is a great way to use up sourdough starter discard without a long fermentation time.
