It needs more flour, or less oil, or simply a floured counter when rolling, I'm… Continue reading Sourdough challah

10 rolls Experience 21/05/2022: made with a strong leaven, it grew really properly. I split each slice into 3 strands attached at the base and made a swirl kinda. It wasn't that dry, but still a bit, and maybe lacked some sweetness - the cinnamon makes it a bit dry, or maybe the butter needed… Continue reading Sourdough cinnamon rolls
