Preparation Instructions
- 1
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, water, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a roll. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
