Sourdough bread rolls

Dead easy to do. If you haven't got the starter/ can't be bothered, substitute with a pack of dried yeast and follow the instructions on the pack.


Makes: 8 rolls
Cost per roll: 0.20 zl (3.5 UK pence)

Ingredients:

- around 500g of mainly white flour with a bit of wholemeal or whatever you want
- around 30 ml of luke warm water
- around 2 tablespoons of sourdough starter
- 2 big old pinches of salt
- an egg (for brushing before baking)

Let's go!

1. Mix the flour with salt in a bowl and make a little well


2. Whisk the sourdough starter with the water and then add to the flour


3. Mix well and knead for a few minutes. You may need to add more flour or water depending on the consistency - you want it pretty firm


4. Cover with a plastic bag or foil and leave overnight to "prove". It should double in size


5. Divide into 8 portions


6. Form into rolls and put on a greased baking tray


7. Cover and leave to prove again for around 2 hours


8. Brush with an egg wash


9. Bake at 200 degrees for around 17 minutes.


10. Remove from the oven and rest for an hour before eating

Enjoy!
