When you think sourdough bread, you probably think an artisan loaf, one with a thick, chewy crust and coarse interior. These soft dinner rolls are at the opposite end of the texture spectrum. Buttery spirals with a pleasingly mild sourdough tang, they're soft on the inside, but sport a wonderfully crisp crust — think crescent roll.

If you don't feel like adding booze or coffee, simply use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water instead. Upped the vanilla. Added salt.
