Create ultra-soft, enriched sourdough rolls perfect for holidays. These buttery, pull-apart rolls use an overnight proof for maximum flavor and convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g active sourdough starter
  • 100g whole milk, warm
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 400g bread flour
  • 8g salt
  • 113g unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm milk, and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Whisk in the eggs until well combined.
  3. Add the softened butter to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
  4. Add the bread flour and salt to the bowl. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. The dough will be sticky.
  6. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  7. Refrigerate the dough overnight (8-12 hours) for the first proof.
  8. The next day, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  9. Shape each piece into a ball. For pull-apart rolls, arrange 3 balls in a greased muffin tin, leaving a little space between them. Repeat for remaining dough.
  10. Cover the muffin tins and let the rolls proof at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. While the rolls are still warm, brush them generously with melted butter.
  14. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a strong starter, feed it regularly with equal parts flour and water. Ensure it’s bubbly and active before using.
  • If you prefer a less sweet roll, reduce the sugar by 10-20g.
  • You can make these rolls ahead by refrigerating the shaped dough for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the dough.
