Ingredients

Wet ingredients

▢ ½ cup +1 tbsp Water (warm, microwave 15 seconds)
▢ 3 tablespoon Oil

Dry ingredients

▢ 2 tablespoon Organic cane sugar
▢ 1 teaspoon Salt
▢ 3 cup Bread flour (360 grams, or all-purpose flour)
▢ ½ cup Sourdough starter (120 grams)

Instructions

Option 1: Make dough in bread machine

Place the wet and dry ingredients in the order required by your bread machine.
Close the lid and start the "dough" cycle. Let the cycle complete.
Let the dough rise for additional 2-3 hours on "rise"cycle until the dough doubles in volume.
Once the cycle completes, remove the dough from the pan on a lightly floured surface.

Option 2: Make dough in stand mixer

Place the wet and dry ingredients into the stand mixer bowl.
Attach the dough hook and knead on setting 2 for about 12 minutes until the dough is well kneaded and attaches to the hook.
Make a smooth dough ball, apply some oil to the bottom of the bowl and place the dough ball in it for rising.
Cover the bowl and keep it in a warm place for about 4 hours until the dough rises and becomes more than double in volume.
Remove the dough from the bowl on a lightly floured surface.

Shape dough to make rolls

Divide the dough into 15 equal parts of about 45 - 46 grams each.
Shape them into smooth balls and tuck all the edges to the bottom side to make it smooth from the top.
Place them in a 13-inch by 9-inch baking tray lined with parchment paper keeping 1-2 finger space between the balls.
Cover with a food wrap or a kitchen towel so that it does not dry up.
Allow it to rise for about 4 hours until it has doubled in volume.

Bake in the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Remove the food wrap gently and then place the baking tray in the oven.
Bake for about 22 minutes on 375°F or until the crust is golden brown in color.
Take the baking tray out of the oven.

Final touches

Apply some butter on top of the buns using a basting brush.

Notes

Sifting and weighing the flour helps make the bread soft. Sifting is optional, however, weighing the flour gives consistent results
