In reply to Mina. Hi Mina! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I personally tried this as a loaf and didn't really like it that way. I would recommend my sourdough bread instead. :)

These were great! wonderful texture and delicious flavour. Process was easy! seriously so happy with this one. Could this same recipe be baked as a loaf?

Prepping for Thanksgiving. This is my second batch in two weeks. First batch was just to test for the cook but also for how well they freeze and reheat. The answer to both is, Fantastic! ~45 seconds in the microwave is perfect for a frozen roll! Thank you!

I’ve made this recipe a few times and had good success. I’ve noticed the importance of mixing the dough for a sufficient time/speed. I’ve also improvised a big and added just a splash of half and half, in efforts to soften the texture a bit. Overall, a great recipe! Would recommend!

In reply to Christine Hubbard. Hi Christine! I'm so sorry I missed this! I would just keep going in that situation. There isn't much to lose. I have baked over-proofed dough before. It's not at good, but over-proofed bread is better than no bread if you ask me. How did they turn out?

I am in the process of making (or trying to make?!) these rolls and I am concerned that I overproofed them on the 5-7 hour counter rise. The dough DEFNITELY doubled in size, or more than doubled. It was cold (66 degrees) in my house, so I put them in the oven with the light on for 2 ish hours, then turned the light off and left them. Ended up not getting back to it until about 9 PM at which time it had been 7 hours total. It is currently in the fridge, but it does not look like it’ll be dense later like it should be. I can see lots of bubbles from the sides. What do I do?

In reply to Cara. Hi Cara! If this is the dough before it is shaped, I would be comfortable letting it sit up to 48 hours. :)

In reply to Sam. This were SOOO GOOD!! But if course I knew they would be I do have a question, how long is too long for them to be in the fridge? I jumped the gun on mixing 4 batches of rolls & I'm just now realizing that I should be baking them today (according to your recipe). I really don't NEED them until tomorrow evening for people to eat on Thursday, if that makes any sense So I guess my question is, is it OK for them to be in fridge for about 24 hours or is that to long?

These turned out great! I over proofed them (our home is a bit chilly so I overcompensated for that) but they were still delicious. I use this website’s sourdough loaf bread recipe for a great loaf of bread so I tried the rolls. I might make them again tomorrow just to see if I can keep from over proofing! Texture was light and fluffy. Flavor was great. Reminded me of what a sister Schuberts roll is supposed to taste like!

In reply to Candice. Hi Candice! 8 hours should be enough but longer isn't going to hurt. You can do 2 pans of 10 but you'll need smaller pans and that will likely change your bake time so just keep an eye on them as they bake. :)

Planning to make these very soon! Two questions:
1. How long is overnight? 8 hours? 12 hours?
2. Can I do two pans of ten? I was thinking of rolling half in cinnamon sugar and half in everything bagel seasoning.

Thanks!

In reply to Trisha. Trisha I was wondering if rolling them into balls & freezing them worked & what were the steps you took once you were ready to bake? Thank you!

In reply to Trisha. Hi Trisha! While I haven't personally tried it, I think that could work. I'm so glad you enjoyed them. :)

I decided to try these for Thanksgiving this year and did a trial run today. I was unsure if I over proofed because they didn’t spring back, but they ended up still being the best rolls I’ve ever made. Definitely better than Kings Hawaiian Rolls. I will most definitely make this recipe on a regular basis!

Made these last night and they are so good. Could I freeze these after shaping them into balls and then take out and let rise before baking?

Oh my gosh, Sam! Are you living in my head?? I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to find a sourdough roll recipe for Thanksgiving & then this morning I see that you posted this!! I got super excited because I know that it's going to be a good one as are all your recipes! I will definitely be making this in the next day or 2 to test/try them out before the big day....and because I just LOVE bread!
