Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Sourdough Starter Ensure it's fed and bubbly for best results.
  • 1 cup Pineapple Juice Opt for fresh or not-from-concentrate variety.
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk Substitute with non-dairy milk if preferred.
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour For nutritional benefits, consider replacing some with Einkorn or spelt flour.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Feel free to use maple syrup as a substitute.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter Consider using vegan butter or oil if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt No direct substitution recommended.
Optional Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter Brush on after baking for a glossy finish.

Method
 

Mix the Dough (Night Before)
  1. Blend your bubbly sourdough starter with 1 cup of pineapple juice and 1/2 cup of whole milk until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of honey, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring well. Gradually incorporate 4 cups of all-purpose flour until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
Shape the Rolls (Next Morning)
  1. Once the dough has risen, generously flour your work surface. Turn the dough onto it, avoiding excessive deflation. Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces, and shape each into a round ball. Arrange in a well-buttered baking dish, leaving space for expansion, then cover with a towel.
Final Rise
  1. Place the baking dish in a warm, draft-free area, allowing the rolls to rise until they double in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the towel and place the risen rolls into the oven. Bake for around 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Brush with Butter
  1. Brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish. Let cool slightly before serving.
