Make soft, fluffy dinner rolls using your sourdough discard. This quick recipe is ready in about one hour, perfect for a last-minute side dish, finished with a rich garlic butter topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus 3 tablespoons for topping
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the sourdough discard, flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour in the milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 3 or 4 times until the dough comes together.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between them.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. While the rolls bake, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
  8. Remove the rolls from the oven. Immediately brush the warm garlic butter mixture evenly over the tops of the hot rolls.
  9. Serve the rolls warm as a quick dinner side.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, use discard that is slightly older.
  • You can skip the garlic butter topping and use plain melted butter for a simpler taste.
  • This recipe is a great hack for same-day sourdough baking when you need bread fast.
