Ingredients

690 g all-purpose flour (For the no-sourdough option, use 840 g flour instead.)
245 g water (Use warm water if your house is cold. For the no-sourdough option, use 395 g water.)
300 g sourdough starter or discard (Omit for the no-sourdough option.)
18 g instant yeast
2 large eggs (For the dough.)
105 g honey (Sugar may be substituted.)
56 g salted butter (Softened; add after the initial mixing.)
2.5 tsp salt (For the dough.)
1 large egg (Optional egg wash.)
1 tbsp milk or cream (For the optional egg wash; cream with a splash of water is recommended by the author.)
coarse sea salt (Optional finishing sprinkle, to taste.)
1 stick butter (Optional; rub over the hot rolls after baking, as mentioned in the video transcript.)

Steps

1
Add the flour, water, sourdough starter or discard, instant yeast, eggs, honey or sugar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Keep the softened butter out for later. For rolls without sourdough, use the alternative flour and water amounts listed in the ingredients.
2
Mix on low speed for 1–2 minutes, just until all of the flour has been absorbed.
3
Increase the mixer to medium-high or high speed and mix for about 10 minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth and is close to passing the windowpane test.
4
Add the softened butter and mix for a few more minutes, until it is fully incorporated. The finished dough should be smooth, strong, and slightly shiny.
5
Shape the dough into a ball in the mixing bowl, cover it, and let it rise until nearly doubled in size, about 1–2 hours or longer if the room is cold.
6
Divide the dough into 15–24 portions, depending on the desired size. For 15 XL rolls, portion the dough at about 105 g each; for 24 standard rolls, portion it at about 65 g each.
7
Shape each portion into a roll. To tighten and smooth the outer surface, cup your hands around the dough and pull the dough ball toward you several times, creating a smooth, round ball.
8
Arrange the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let them rise for about 1 hour, until noticeably puffy. If the room is cold, place them in the oven with the light on to help them rise.
9
Toward the end of the second rise, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
10
For the optional egg wash, whisk 1 egg with about 1 tablespoon of milk or cream until smooth and liquid.
11
Brush the egg wash over the risen buns, then sprinkle them with coarse sea salt.
12
Bake standard-size buns for about 15–18 minutes, until golden. Bake XL buns for about 25 minutes, or until the center reaches 190°F (88°C) on a thermometer.
13
If desired, rub a stick of butter over the hot baked rolls immediately after they come out of the oven.
