WOW. AWESOME rolls Paula. My starter, which happens to be your Foolproof Sourdough Starter, went crazy today. My dough would double in size within 30 minutes and I punched it down 3 times before making the rolls, each time they came back light and airy. I mixed everything in my KA, using almost 5 cups of floor and kneaded on speed 1 for about 7 minutes. The dough was really sticky, but workable. This recipe gave me 15 beautiful fluffy rolls with a wonderful texture inside and a nice crisp crust. I brushed with melted butter the last 10 minutes of baking. Thanks so much.

Terrific Rolls. Followed the recipe as written except used 4-1/2 cups multi-grain flour. The first rise took 2 hours, the second, 1 hour. The bottoms were a little hard, so next time I'll try brushing with butter after 15 minutes of baking. No picture, as my buns are not uniform...there must be some kind of trick that I don't know about. Sure do taste good though. Thanks PaulaG...another great recipe

Excellent rolls! I wasn't sure how they'd turn out since I used friendship starter - but they were delicious. I also used about 1/2 white & 1/2 whole wheat flour in these, and probably used more like 5-6 cups total, as the dough was quite sticky. It did rise beautifully, and I ended up with about 20 fist-sized rolls. They were nicely done after 20 minutes baking, so I didn't return them to the oven after brushing them with melted butter. Yummy - thanks for posting! -M =)

The rolls are awesome!! Made them like you, with both flours. They came out picture perfect! The flavour and texture was just what I wanted. This is a keeper. Thank you for sharing. I got 12 rolls (good size) for my 9 x 13 pan.

These were very good. I got 15 rolls as well and used all white flour (didn't have time to grind any whole wheat but I'm sure that would've been great too) They were very dense, but I've found that's what sourdough does here where we live. The kids couldn't stop eating them!

This is a wonderful recipe! I made 6 batches of this today, and they all came out as perfectly as the picture! The dough is soft and pliable to work with and makes a fluffy soft bread. I feel like a professional bread baker! I used 50%/50% all purpose and bread flours with fantastic results. This is bread to brag about! Thanks so much!

Paula - I tried this recipe because your biscuits where so fantastic - and these live up to your quality! I loved them because of the sourdough taste. Sis liked them and she does not like sourdough and DH liked them over his sweet rolls for their texture. A perfect 'please the masses' roll! I do, however need to work on my rolls shaping....

OMG! These are amazing dinner rolls... I normally make sweet rolls using the bread machine, but wanted to use some of my sourdough starter before I banished it back to the refrigerator... Light, soft, flavorful. These are everything you could want in a bready experience. I have the rest covered in a bread basket to go with dinner when hubby gets home, but joy of joys, 3 didn't fit in there. Kids and I are munching. I used the KitchenAid to mix and knead this, then let it rise in the oven on the bread rise setting. It took about 4 cups of unbleached flour, maybe a tad less. I worried about using so much yeast, but I am glad I used the full amount, as my starter isn't very bubbly and happy today for whatever reason. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

These are wonderful!!! I also had to add a couple extra cups of flour and a little honey (my sourdough is really sour!), but they turned out light and fluffy, with a light crispy crust. I used them to make sliders (mini hamburgers) and they were delish! My son had one with butter and honey on it for dessert as well and loved that too...great recipe!

I used this recipe for dinner rolls for our evening meal today. I found the dough quite sticky and difficult to work with, but the finished product tasted wonderful. I used muffin tins to bake them in. Additionally, I only needed one packet of yeast, as my starter seems to be very aggressive.
