Thank you, Mike, the day has been wonderful, hope yours was too! The
rolls I was up early making were a success; a nicely risen pan of
pull-apart sourdough rolls. I think I am getting the hang of this hobby.

Best,

Thanks Heather. I made sourdough pull-apart rolls as well. I also made a few
loaves of bread on Wednesday to use for crostini and a few loaves earlier in
the week which became the turkey dressing/stuffing. They all came out pretty
well.

Did you track down a sourdough recipe for the pull-apart rolls? I converted
a yeast recipe from Reinhart's BBA. I messed up the calculations somehow. I
clearly over calculated the hydration and ended up adding a lot of extra
flour during the kneading. I was a little concerned that they wouldn't come
out very well, but they were great. I also have a nice momento of the
experience. When taking the pan out of the oven it slipped a bit in of one
of my hands. I went to grab it and it managed to find it's way to the inside
of my arm at the elbow. Fortunately the pan's visit to my arm was very
short. I'm amazed that the rolls didn't end up all over the floor. I'll have
a reminder of this Thanksgiving, and those rolls, for a little while now.

Take care,
-Mike

Hi Mike; I did! I took the following recipe from the archives:



and made a 12 hour sponge with half the dough minus salt & butter.
(Added those later with the rest of the flour.)

When I baked them I shaped small balls of dough and put them in a pyrex
baking dish with about 1 1/2 inch tall sides. They rose beautifully;
next time I will put fewer in the same pan as they were rather taller
than wide.
I used that recipe's ingredients but my timing on the rising was
different as my homemade starter is slow (but sure).

Lucky you didn't drop the rolls, good save!

Best,
