Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or milk for a less sweet option)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- Extra butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, pineapple juice, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, and yeast to the wet mixture. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand, knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Cover the pan with a damp towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with melted butter for extra richness!
Notes
- Use active discard for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing sugar or using honey.
- For extra fluffiness, let the shaped rolls rise twice before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
