Step 2: Add IngredientsAt 7:00 P.M. mix together, starter, flour, warm milk, butter and honey in a stand mixer with a bread hook. Start with 6 cups of flour, add 1/4 cup of flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the mixer bowl.

Place seam side down in cast iron skillet, leave a small amount of space between each roll to allow space for rising.
