I'm making a batch of sourdough bread, and I wanna try making rolls with
it instead of a loaf. Do I just cut it into 1 or 1.5 ounce balls and
let them rise (covered with a damp towel) in greased muffin tins?
Do I need to brush some melted butter on top?
The trick is going to be timing the rise to have them ready to bake for
the Thanksgiving meal tomorrow. I may have to put them in the back seat
of the car tonight to keep them cold to retard the rise.

how much they were going to rise. You may not want the back seat of your
car to smell like sour dough. How about the trunk? Polly

Spray with water will yield a hard crust.

of water, 1 tsp salt, plus 3/4 cup of starter which was wet like pancake
batter)
I put the dough (covered) in the car overnight. It was cold but risen
about triple by morning. I punched it down and snipped into 1.3 ounce
blobs, and dropped them into generously greased muffin tins. They took
maybe 4 or 5 hours to rise, but that was about right. I brushed the
tops with melted butter because they were drying out a little, and baked
at 375° until I could smell them. Don't really know how long that was,
maybe 15 or 20 minutes. The tops didn't brown, but the bottoms and sides
did.
They turned out really good. Kind of tough to tear open though, I
should have snipped them in half with buttered scissors before rising.
Maybe next time.
