The night before you want to make these, add the water, oil, and starter to the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Mix until combined.
Add 2 cups flour and the salt. Mix well.
Turn on low speed and continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough cleans the side of the bowl.
Turn on speed 2 and knead for 8-10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Allow to rise overnight on the counter at room temperature.
The next morning, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll out with a rolling pin into a rectangle shape that is approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl mixed the softened butter and garlic.
Spread over the rolled out dough.
Roll the dough back into a log shape taking special care to roll as tightly as possible. Pinch the seam closed.
Cut the log in half and then cut the 2 logs each in half.
Cut 3 equal pieces from each log making a total of 12 rolls.
Place each roll on a parchment lined baking sheet and cover with a damp tea towel.
Allow to rise 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush tops with an egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
