Ingredients
These classic sourdough rolls are filled with tender pulled pork, crunchy potato chips and tangy BBQ sauce for a delicious meal or snack on-the-go.
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Bake Time: 18 minutes
Instructions
Rehydrate the Red Star Active Dry Yeast by combining with water heated to 90°F (32°C) for 10 minutes. Next, in a spiral mixer, blend all ingredients for 4 minutes on your mixer’s first speed and then for an additional 6 minutes on its second speed, or until dough is fully developed. Maintain dough temperature at 78°F (25.5°C). Let dough rest, covered to prevent skin from forming, for 15 minutes.
Divide dough into 2 oz (57 g) portions. Sheet dough into flat discs and drape into large muffin tins. Next fill with a layer of potato chips, then cooked BBQ pulled pork, and more potato chips.
Proof and then bake at 410ºF (210ºC) in a rack, deck or revolving oven for 18 minutes, or until rolls have a hard, golden brown crust. Remove from oven, let cool and drizzle with BBQ sauce.
The above is a suggestion only.
