Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 500 g bread flour high protein content
  • 300 g water room temperature
  • 100 g sourdough starter active and bubbly
  • 10 g salt

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add the sourdough starter and water to the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake
  1. Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
  2. Shape each piece into a bun by tucking the edges into the center and rolling it into a ball.
  3. Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rest for about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
  5. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
