It all started last night. I made up the dough for a loaf of sourdough bread using my basic recipe, and replenished the starter so it would be ready this morning for me to make rolls.
The morning was busy and the making of the rolls got away from me until just after noon. Since I knew I wouldn't have time to allow sourdough rolls to rise I decided to try to make "Faux Sourdough Rolls" by adapting my recipe for Faux Sourdough Bread. I did and they came out great. Unfortunately, things were hopping quickly in the kitchen so I wasn't able to take photos. I plan on making these again soon, when things are more relaxed, and will take pictures then.
The recipe:
1 Cup plain yogurt
1 Cup room temp water
2 tsp yeast
2 Tbspn Sugar
2 Tbspn Light Olive Oil
about 4 cups flour
melted butter (about 1 tbspn)
Mix the yeast in the water and set aside so it can start activating
In a large bowl, add the yogurt, sugar and oil, mix lightly, then add the water/yeast mixture and mix well.
Mix in 2 cups of flour, mix it well. Start adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until you get a dough ball you can work with.
Turn it onto a floured board and knead well, adding flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. Work in flour until the dough ball no longer sticks to your hands or the board as you knead it (this took a little over 3-1/2 cups for me)
Knead well for about 5 mins
Put the dough ball in a clean bowl, cover with a towel and set in a warm place to rise.
After the dough has doubled in size:
Lightly oil a 9X13 baking sheet
Punch down the dough ball, transfer it to oiled baking sheet
Work the dough ball out so it fills the baking sheet
Using a Single Edge Pastry Chopper cut 2 lengthwise cuts and 3 widthwise cuts, giving a total of 12 rolls.
Cover with a towel and allow to raise until roughly doubled again.
Cook in a 375*F oven for 15 mins, brush tops with melted butter and cook for 5 mins more.
Remove from oven, allow to cool for about 10 mins before separating. Enjoy!
