You know those Hawaiian rolls which are in the deli section at the supermarket. These rolls are pillow-soft, light as air, and just a little sweet. This recipe is a sourdough make-over of those rolls.

These soft, sweet sourdough dinner rolls make a tasty additon to a meal. These rolls have a hint of pineapples and brown sugar.

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 10 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.
