Method
 

Mixing and Kneading Dough
  1. Combine 1% milk, active sourdough starter, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and diastatic malt powder until smooth. Gradually add bread flour and kosher salt, mixing for about 5 minutes on low speed until a rough dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, performing the windowpane test to ensure readiness.
First Rise
  1. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 6-8 hours until doubled in size.
Shaping and Second Rise
  1. After the first rise, gently deflate the dough and divide it into 4 pieces. Shape each into a log and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Let rise for another 2-3 hours.
Prepping for Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare an egg wash and brush over rolls. Place a skillet with ice cubes in the oven for steam.
Baking
  1. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
