I keep promising myself (for years) that I will one day make the starter and keep it alive. Until then I look for easiest and fastest bread recipes possible :D So far the fastest and easiest is Irish Soda bread. You mix and you bake. Done.
The rolls look so amazing though..I can imagine the smell...
Get you butt in gear, Ewkaw! 😁 😘 Seriously, sourdough is so easy to make, to start with, it only gets a bit more involved when you start thinking about tweaking e.g. more holes, less holes etc. Other than that it is totally worth it. And the starter maintenance, I have totally minimized it. I feed it once a week and that's it. If you don't want to bake weekly, put it in the fridge. I do that every time I go on vacation longer than a week. It's no problem at all. The starter has survived everything - thus far.
They smelled awesome! The whole house smelled of the fresh bread - hahaha - if you weren't so far away I'd send you a bit of my starter. Well, could do that anyhow because I dried some of it.
