To proof your sourdough starter (you'll need to start this before you are wanting to make the buns): 1. Bring 1 cup of your starter to room temperature and place in a bowl. 2. Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water to starter, mix well. 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). 4. Starter is now proofed and ready to use! Place any unused starter in a glass container in the refrigerator. For the buns: 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). 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. Bake at 350°F 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. Nutrition Info per 1 bun: 141 calories, 3 g fat, 4 g protein, 23 g carbohydrates
