Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour You can experiment with whole wheat flour for a denser texture.
  • 1 cup sourdough discard Make sure it's active for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice Fresh or canned juice works well.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted Can be replaced with oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons yeast Use fresh yeast for best results.
  • 1/2 cup warm water Water should be around 110°F (43°C) for optimal yeast activation.

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sourdough discard, pineapple juice, melted butter, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Rising

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces to shape into rolls.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another hour.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving.
