Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sourdough starter discard unfed
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or other natural sweetener
  • 1 packet yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda for boiling
  • Pretzel salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the sourdough starter, flour, water, olive oil, agave nectar, yeast, and salt.  Stir with a wooden spoon until all ingredients have combined, and knead for about 5 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel, and place in a warm spot to rise overnight, or between 8 to 12 hours.
  • After the first rise, knead dough again and divide into 6 balls. Roll the dough balls in your palm to make a bun shape. Place the dough balls on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Allow to rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil and add the 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
  • Boil the dough (I did 2 at a time) for 45 seconds on each side, and place back on the sheet pan until all buns have been boiled.
  • With a knife carve an X into the top of each bun and sprinkle salt on top.
  • Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until outside becomes dark brown.  Allow buns to cool for at least 30 minutes before eating.
