1 Hour Buttermilk Dinner Rolls
Description
The 1 Hour Buttermilk Dinner Rolls recipe blends butter, warm buttermilk, honey, and yeast to create a slightly sweet, soft dough. It includes salt and egg for structure and flavor, with flour added gradually until the dough just comes together. The dough is kneaded lightly on a floured surface for several minutes and then shaped into rolls placed in a buttered pan for a final rise.
The warm buttermilk activates the yeast quickly, allowing the rolls to rise in about an hour before baking at 400 degrees. The high heat produces a tender crust without drying the interior. Their texture is soft and fluffy, making them an enjoyable accompaniment to dinners.
Serving these warm buttermilk rolls alongside hearty dishes like soups or roasts highlights their mildly sweet flavor and melt-in-the-mouth crumb. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently if needed.
To manage dough stickiness, use floured hands but avoid excess flour to keep rolls light. Allow rising in a steady warm area to ensure proper yeast activation. Check yeast freshness and handle it at room temperature for best results.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 yeast Fleischmann's RapidRise® packets
- 4 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9x13 inch pan.
- Add buttermilk and 4 tablespoons butter to a liquid measuring cup. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until butter is mostly melted. Buttermilk should be very warm but you should still be able to touch it without burning your finger (about 110 degrees).
- In a large bowl, combine honey and yeast.
- Whisk in buttermilk and butter mixture.
- Whisk in salt and egg.
- Add 2 1/2 cups flour.
- Mix (by hand, or with an electric hand mixer, or you can do this in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment) until flour is completely incorporated.
- Gradually add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough comes together just enough to form a ball. (It will stick be quite sticky! You should be able to handle it with heavily floured hands.)
- With floured hands, transfer to a lightly floured surface (be careful not to use too much flour as it will dry out your dough) and knead for 4-5 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Divide dough into 12 equal-size pieces and roll each into a ball. Place 1 inch apart in prepared pan.
- Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise for 10 minutes in a warm place (I place mine near the preheated oven).
- Uncover, and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Brush immediately with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and serve.
Notes
- Flour your hands when handling sticky dough, but avoid adding too much flour to keep rolls tender.
- Let the dough rise in a warm environment; placing it in a slightly warmed (and then turned off) oven can help during colder months.
- Confirm your yeast is fresh and at room temperature for effective rising.
