Excellent rolls! This recipe uses a bread machine for the hard work, and you will bake these in the oven. These rolls are large and a perfect softness.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter, Shortcut
- ¾ cup water, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 408 grams bread flour, 3 cups if no scale
- 1½ teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
- Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order specified in your owner's manual. Select dough cycle. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, ½ to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Take out dough when cycle is finished.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, flour the top, punch down to remove air bubbles. Divide dough into 8 pieces. On lightly floured surface, shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil and floured. Flatten each ball to 4 inches in diameter. Cover, let rise until indentations remains after touching. If desired, brush with egg wash (combine 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water) just before baking. Bake in preheated 200° C (390° F) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool on a wire rack.
- And with sesame seeds sprinkled on top before baking.
- These are huge rolls!
Notes
In addition to sandwiches and burgers, think bread bowls, scoop out the middle and fill with chowder or a good stew.
