Quick Dinner Rolls
I made some quick sourdough dinner rolls for my stew last night, I know there is a little bit of yeast in it so not a "true" sourdough but tasty.
And I got my starter a new home for being so nice to me.
Cheers,

I made another batch with 2 T of Arugala Walnut pesto added, me likey.

Those look very tasty. Mind sharing your formula?
thanks

Yes! What was your recipe if you don't mind sharing. Thanks, Jean P. (VA)
What a nice home for your sourdough starter, Wingnut! I'm sure it appreciates it. What time is dinner? Those rolls look fantastic, almost challah-like. Yum. Enjoy-- great baking.
We ran out of whole wheat sandwich bread this afternoon, so I'm busy putting together a loaf from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Baking. Trying out some organic Sonora Whole Wheat Flour from our local vegie farmer who also occasionally grows wheat. I'm just using a bit of it (about 1 cup) in this loaf to see how/if it behaves when mixed with home milled hard red winter wheat.

it is quick down and dirty, no grams just cups and spoons, sorry.
1/2 c Starter (mine is around 75%)
3/4 c warm milk (I use 2%)
2 T melted butter (plus a little more to brush ontop after baking)
1 T Light Brown Sugar
1/4 t instant yeast ( I know, I know)
1 t. Kosher Salt
As Needed: KAAP Flour
Disolve sugar in warm milk, sprinkle yeast ontop to bloom, once bloomed add melted butter and add to mixing bowl. Stir in starter then enough flour to make a thick pancake like batter, cover and let sit 20 minutes. Add salt, stir in, then start adding flour until you a workable dough, looser is better, but should still hold a shape. Cover let double-ish for about 30 minutes. Divide into 8 pieces, roll (will be a little sticky) and put into greased pan, cover and proof until doubled, bake at 425F for 25-30 minutes, brush lightly with butter, srinkle with a little kosher salt if you want, let "cool" in pan for 10 minutes and serve.
questions?

Who cares if it has some instant yeast when it has arugula pesto too - or even plain for that matter when they look that good !!!
Nice baking.
and I will not tell my starters about the pretty glass house yours moved into. They just have to live with their old yogurt containers, and I don't want to hear any complaints!

I was just thinking the same thing, Karin. It shamed me into making an earnest effort to find something similarly attractive for my starters rather than banged-up plastic Glad containers.

but I have this "thing" for jelly glasses (1/2 pint canning jars). All the different shapes and sizes really give me a kick, so now I get to use them for my starters - they are not just for jelly and jam anymore.
Thanks for the grear roll recipe too! It is on the to-bake list!
Too kind you ladies are, much obliged for the kind words. I figure tis the one thing that gives me no lip back and has yet to let me down, twas the least I could do for me kind starter.
Cheers,
Wingnut
