I would like to figure out how to make 100% sourdough sandwich rolls. I figured the first step would be finding a good non-sourdough recipe and testing it out. This one is very good, although mine didn’t get the golden crust like the recipe author’s. I should have used an egg wash before baking. The recipe is from The Kitchen Whisperer.

It’s been so long since I’ve used commercial yeast that I forgot how fast it works. Also, I used up the last of the jar that has been in the freezer for years. I didn’t even used the full tablespoon because I was a little short. Still worked fine.

The recipe said to make 8 rolls, but I decided to make them a bit smaller and made 12 rolls. I baked them for 18 minutes and it’s possible they could have used another couple minutes in the oven. Next time I will definitely use an egg wash.

Maurizio has a sourdough hamburger bun recipe that I may use as a guide for timing and sourdough starter percentage.
