Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (look for not-from-concentrate juice for the best flavor)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for brushing)
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, pineapple juice, milk, honey, melted butter, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the flour and mix until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. You can do this by hand or with a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment.
- Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the dough ferment at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight. The dough should rise and become puffy.
- In the morning, lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top of the flour. Divide it into 18 equal pieces.
- Gently shape each piece into a round roll and place them in a buttered 9×13 baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh pineapple juice that is not from concentrate.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
- Experiment with different toppings or fillings, such as a sprinkle of coconut or nuts.
