In reply to Pam. Discard recipes can take longer to proof with out the aid of instant yeast. You can add up to a packet (7g) with this recipe. It does get some oven spring as well.

In reply to FSethman. Mine is struggling to rise also. After 2 hours of no movement, I incorporated a bit of activated yeast into the mixture. It has been 2 more hours and still only slightly increased in size. I'm going to cold proof in the fridge overnight, so fingers crossed that tomorrow will go well

Love this recipe! First time making these rolls. Having some issues with lack of rising, everything was double the time which dragged the process to being nearly a full day. I had trouble rolling into the balls but that’s on me being a newbie still. I put a slab of butter under each slot to prevent sticking and for yummy factor.

In reply to Vickie. Great question, Vickie! You will gradually ad the remaining 2.5 cups. You may not need all of it or you may need a bit more. What you're looking for is a soft dough that is moist and not dry. Let me know how it goes!

Newbie here – your recipe for Cloverleaf Sourdough Dinner Rolls with Discard calls for 3.5 cups of flour. I mixed one cup of flour with the starter, water, sugar, butter and salt. Then it says to gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Do I gradually add the remaining 2.5 cups of flour, or how do I know how much to add to get a soft dough?
