Make soft, fluffy dinner rolls quickly using your sourdough starter discard. These rolls bake in under an hour and are topped with garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough discard
  • 1 cup warm water (about 105-115F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the sourdough discard and salt.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  7. Punch down the risen dough gently. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. Arrange the dough balls close together in the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the topping: Melt the butter, then stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
  11. Remove the rolls from the oven. Immediately brush the melted garlic butter mixture evenly over the hot rolls.
  12. Serve the rolls warm.

Notes

  • If your discard is very cold, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before starting the recipe.
  • You can use instant yeast if you skip the 5-minute proofing step with the warm water.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder to the garlic butter topping.
