Sourdough dinner rolls are a variation on traditional white dinner rolls, made with the addition of a sourdough starter to give the dough a slightly sour flavor. These rolls are perfect for serving with soup, stew, or a Sunday roast, and can be enjoyed warm with a pat of butter or dipped in olive oil. They're also a great way to use up extra sourdough starter that might otherwise go to waste.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the sourdough starter, warm water, yeast, salt, sugar, and olive oil.
2.	Add the flour gradually, mixing well with a fork until a dough forms.
3.	Turn out on a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4.	Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it has doubled in size.
5.	Cut the dough into equal portions and gently shape each into a ball, then place on a greased baking tray.
6.	Cover and let rise for another 30-60 minutes.
7.	Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
8.	Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Sourdough bread has several health benefits, including improved digestion, increased mineral absorption, and a lower glycemic index.
Because sourdough is fermented, it contains beneficial bacteria and yeast that help break down the gluten in the flour and make it easier to digest.
