3¼cupsbread flour(all-purpose will also work), extra as needed
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, olive oil, yeast, and sugar.
Let the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, or until yeast begins to bloom.
Add Amish Friendship Bread starter, half of the flour, salt, and egg to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed.
Add remaining flour gradually. Knead until dough becomes a smooth ball and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Shape dough into 12 balls and place in a 9" x 13" pan lined with parchment. Balls should be evenly spaced but not quite touching.
Cover loosely with a dishcloth or oiled plastic wrap. Allow dough to rest for 10-15 minutes in a warm, draft-free area.
Preheat oven to 400° F (205 °C).
Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven. After 2-3 minutes, transfer rolls to a wire rack to cool. Brush the tops with butter.
ENJOY!
Notes
For best results, use starter that's been recently fed (today or yesterday) and is frothy and bubbly.
The addition of commercial yeast ensures a rise, but you may need to be patient if your kitchen is cool. You can also place in your oven with the pilot light on (remove before pre-heating).
