Ingredients

• 200 grams Active sourdough starter
• 240 milliliters Warm milk
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Large egg
• 480 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Salt
• 15 grams Butter, softened (for brushing tops)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the melted butter and egg to the bowl, whisking until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix the ingredients together until the dough begins to come together into a sticky ball.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle with a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 3-4 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.

Step 7

Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the rolls rise again for 1-2 hours, or until puffy.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with softened butter for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these fluffy Texas sourdough rolls warm with butter or as a side dish to your favorite meal!
