Crusty Sourdough Rolls

Really nice recipe -- almost better than one single loaf if only because you get more of that awesome crust. I doubled the recipe as 12 just wasn't enough.

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups bread flour

• 1 1/4 cups warm, filtered or distilled water

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 3/4 cup sourdough starter

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until a consistent dough forms.

2. Cover with cling wrap or a tight lid and let it stand overnight on the countertop, if warm, or in a cold oven with the light on.

3. In the morning, punch down the dough and shape the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Use flour on your palms to roll, if the dough feels sticky. Place the rolls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Sprinkle some flour on top of the rolls, cover with a kitchen towel, and set aside to rise for 2 hours.

5. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

6. When the rolls have risen, score the top of each roll using a sharp knife. Make the cut fast, to prevent the roll from deflating. Scoring gives the gases that form in the bread escape while baking and helps the rolls rise.

7. Place the rolls in the hot oven and bake 25-28 minutes or until the rolls are a light golden-brown. Remove from the oven and continue cooling on a rack.

(Recipe makes 12 rolls.)
