I wanted to make bread rolls this past weekend, and the recipe I came up with sounded like a winner before I had even started: Maple Sourdough Rolls. And here’s the clincher: it’s partly whole-wheat and wholesome with the nutty goodness of flax. Maple and sourdough might sound like a strange combination, but these rolls are neither sour, nor do they taste cloyingly sweet. They have just the lightest kiss of maple flavor and the sourdough is only there to help make these rolls tender and give them a great rise. You won’t taste it at all. This recipe makes a lot of rolls– 24– so they are great if you are expecting guests – or an army– to feed. I shaped them in a spiral for a little cuteness, but you can just roll them into smooth rounds or in crescents. They would also make great slider buns– halve the size of the rolls and you’d get 48 slider buns out of this recipe. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
