Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. If you've long been searching for a recipe for delicious and versatile sourdough buns that can accompany any dish, take a look at this recipe! These buns will go wonderfully with butter, jam, gravy, or spicy sauce, as they don't have a pronounced flavor of their own. I recommend topping the buns with sesame seeds or brushing them with vegetable oil for extra shine. As a starter sourdough, you can use either wheat or rye flour. I'll explain below. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Instructions

    Roll each ball into a rope 30-35 cm long. Shape the rope into a "6", twist the resulting loop, and tuck the free end of the rope through it. Dust the buns with flour, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
