Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups sourdough starter
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 6 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal, or as needed
Instructions
- Bring sourdough starter to room temperature.
- Heat water to 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) in a saucepan. Transfer to a glass bowl; add yeast. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand about 10 minutes.
- Stir melted butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add butter mixture to yeast water; stir in starter.
- Combine 3 cups flour and salt in a large bowl. Add starter mixture slowly; mix well. Stir in 2 cups flour; turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead in as much remaining flour as possible to create a stiff, smooth ball, at least 10 minutes. Transfer ball to a lightly oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Punch dough down; turn out onto a floured surface. Divide into 14 balls; cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet; place dough balls on top.
- Place baking sheet into the preheated oven. Spray the walls of the oven with water once to create steam; bake until tops are golden, for a total of 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- This recipe can also be used to make 2 round loaves; baking time will be approximately 30 to 35 minutes.

Very tasty, but they also ended up very dense. Not sure if this was baker-error?
Tasty, large rolls but minimal sourdough flavoring.
I have made this several times and it comes out perfect every time. One of the best rolls I have ever made. I am very glad I found this recipe.
Loved this recipe. Very easy, fast rising, great taste. I will be making them again.
I made it into two loaves of bread. Really big loaves though! Next time I’ll make it into three loaves. Nice texture to the bread and very tasty.
Really like this recipe! I have made it twice…the second time I made smaller rolls and sprinkled them with Everything Bagel before baking. They were just the right size and my family loved them!
Very light, very fluffy, perfect crust first try! Re-rating now that I made the bread too!! Awesome!
Rose alot faster than I expected. Turned out nicely. my familly loved them.
