Sourdough Cheese Rolls

Sourdough Cheese Rolls are wonderful! Tangy from the sourdough starter and with a cheesy flavor from the cheddar cheese. You can change the flavor of the rolls, simply by changing the cheese you use in the recipe. You can add one or two teaspoons of your favorite seasoning blend to the dough for added flavor. The rolls are about the size of a golf ball, slightly bigger, the perfect bite size.

Change the Cheese

To change the flavor of these rolls simply change the cheese used. Here are a few suggestions: shredded white cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese for an added kick, garlic-dill flavored cheese, perfect with fish. Another suggestion would be to add sliced green onions, crispy bacon or diced ham. Experiment and see what you come up with. Me and the hubby fell in love with these little beauties.
