Sourdough Rolls with Butter and Honey

Yummy, sourdough rolls, fresh from the oven and brushed with melted butter. Don't you just want to grab one and eat it, right now!!??!! Careful! They're hot!

Steps to Making Easy Sour Dough Rolls in your own Kitchen:

1. Put sourdough starter and warm water in the bowl of your stand mixer.  If you didn’t remember to pull the starter out of the fridge early enough for it to be at room temperature, no worries.  I never think of it until the last minute.  I put the starter in my mixing bowl, turn on the mixer and slowly add the HOT, not warm, water.  It seems to have worked each time, without killing the leavening properties of the starter, which I was concerned about in the beginning.  That will bring your starter closer to room temperature and help your bread to rise more effectively.  (Or you could be one of those mysteriously hyper-organized people that never forgets to get the starter out early.  Cool!  Just mix it right in with warm water.)
   

   Add starter and water to your mixing bowl.

2. Mix in melted butter and honey.

3. Mix in the yeast.
4. Blend in the eggs.
   

   Once the yeast has dissolved, add in the eggs.

5. Mix in 6 cups of flour, salt and baking soda.

6. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and dough forms.  This is that point we talk about so often, when making bread.  The humidity in your home will dramatically affect the amount of flour you need, which for me, means that every batch is slightly different.  Continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough pulls cleanly from the sides of your mixing bowl.
   

   The dough will form a lump and clean the sides of the bowl.

7. Knead the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes.
8. Move the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a warm damp towel and allow to rise until doubled in size.

   Allow the rolls to rise until doubled in size.

10. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Brush with melted butter when you remove them from the oven.  I could eat the whole tray, plain, hot and fresh from the oven, but these are so good for burgers, sandwiches, with peanut butter and jelly or honey, any way you can imagine eating bread.
