Sourdough Resurrection Rolls, THM E, SF

Resurrection rolls symbolize Christ and the empty tomb after He had risen. Children of all ages will wonder what happened to the soft, puffy marshmallow that was placed in the center of each roll.

This soft, slightly sweet sourdough wrapped around a sugar-free marshmallow will be a delight for children of all ages as you explain the resurrections story. I have tried Max Mallows and ChocZero Marshmallows and they are both very similar to regular marshmallows.

If you have been following my blog you will know that I love to bake with sourdough. Fermenting the dough makes it easier for your body to digest. Some people who are sensitive to gluten can eat sourdough bread since it has been fermented which breaks the phytic acids down. To me, there is something special about taking flour and water and turning it into a bubbling starter.

Sourdough bread is made by fermenting the dough naturally using occurring lactobacilli and wild yeast. This was the usual form of leavening bread down into the Middle Ages until it was replaced by other products. French Bakers brought sourdough techniques to California during the Gold Rush where it remains large part of the culture today.

My starter, pictured below, is over 8 years old. From this jar, I have sent our thousands of jars/packs of starter to help others begin their journey into this intriguing world of baking.

I used active sourdough starter in this recipe which means it was starter that I had fed with in the last 12 hours. A well fed starter is the key to making good sourdough rolls and bread items.

When I measure out the starter, I always measure the water first. Then I measure the starter on top of the water. Your starter won’t leave quite as much of a mess in your measuring cup. My starter is quite sticky and will stick to everything. The above measuring cup is a favorite of mine. It is from Pampered Chef #100193.

This Danish Dough Whisk is an important part of my sourdough baking. It is so easy to combine ingredients with this whisk.

I mixed the dough until I have this shaggy looking mass….then I allow it to rest for an hour before doing stretch and folds.

Flatten one piece of dough. Place 1 teaspoon sweetener mix in the center of the dough. Place a marshmallow on the sweetener.

Wrap the dough around sealing the edges.

Place in greased muffin pan.

Blend cream cheese, water, and sweetener until smooth. Drizzle over rolls.
