Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together 1% milk, active sourdough starter, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and diastatic malt powder until well blended.
  2. Add bread flour and kosher salt to the wet mixture in the stand mixer, mixing on low speed until a rough dough forms.
  3. Increase the mixer speed to medium and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 6-8 hours.
  5. Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and divide it into four equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a 10-inch log, sealing the ends well.
  7. Place the shaped logs seam-side down on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, cover loosely, and let rise for 2-3 hours.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) about 30 minutes before baking.
  9. Brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash, score the tops, and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  10. Add ice cubes to the preheated pan in the oven and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
