• FOR THE STARTER:
• 1 cup Sourdough Starter
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 cup Warm Water
• FOR THE BUNS:
• 2 cups Proofed Sourdough Starter
• 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
• 1/2 cups Skim Milk, Warmed
• 1 cup (additional) All-purpose Flour
• 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
• 3 cups All-purpose Flour

1. To proof your sourdough starter (you'll need to start this before you are wanting to make the buns):
2. 1. Bring 1 cup of your starter to room temperature and place in a bowl.
3. 2. Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water to starter, mix well.
4. 3. Place in a warm place and allow starter to form a lot of bubbles on surface (anywhere from 1 hour to 6 or 8 hours).
5. 4. Starter is now proofed and ready to use! Place any unused starter in a glass container in the refrigerator.
6. For the buns:
7. In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of proofed starter and all of the bun ingredients except for the flour. Add 3 cups flour, mixing until it comes together enough to be turned out and kneaded (add more flour as needed).
8. Knead dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and not sticky. Let dough rest for 15 or 20 minutes and then roll it out to 1/2" thick. Cut dough into circles with a 4" round cutter and place on a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (1-3 hours). Lightly brush buns with water and sprinkle with sea salt.
9. Bake at 350u0b0F for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. When cool, cut in half and serve topped with your favorite burger.
