Ingredients
Dough
- ¾ cup milk reduced fat
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon yeast
- 1 Tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 cup sourdough starter or ½ cup each, flour and water, discard
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Water Bath
- ¼ cup baking soda
- water depending on pan size, Approximately 2 quarts
Toppings
- salt coarse
Instructions
- In mixer bowl, stir together warm milk (about 115F), sugar and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.
- Add flour, oil, sourdough starter (or substitute) and salt. Using the dough hook attachment, mix and knead the dough mixture until it forms a smooth ball. It should be slightly sticky. Add more flour or water in one tablespoon at a time, if needed to get to the right texture. Continue kneading until dough “pushes back” when pressed.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for an hour (it doesn’t need to double).
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Scoop the dough from the bowl, fold it over a few times, then divide it into 9 approximately 3-ounce pieces for dinner rolls or 7 approximately 4-ounce pieces for hamburger buns.
- Roll into slightly oval rolls and set aside while you prepare water bath (there is no formal second rise).
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add baking soda to the water. Cook half of the rolls in the water bath for 1-2 minutes per side, then place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Make 3 slashes in each roll, then sprinkle them with coarse salt if desired. Repeat with the remaining rolls
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
