How to Make Herman Starter Sweet Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate or round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and ½ cup active Herman starter.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until just combined. Do not over knead.
  4. Shape the dough into 8-12 rolls and place them in the prepared pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolls.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
