Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/4 cup butter plus extra for brushing on rolls
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3– 4 cups all-purpose flour I use about 3 ¼ cups
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a half sheet pan or a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter.
  3. When butter is mostly melted, stir in buttermilk, and heat mixture to 110 F.
  4. Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
  5. When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
  6. Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
  7. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.
  8. Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will feel a little sticky, but it shouldn't come off on your fingers if you pinch it.
  9. With floured hands, shape dough into 12 rolls, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
  10. Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  11. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  12. When rolls are done baking, brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Notes

  • If you would prefer to use active dry yeast, substitute an equal amount for the instant yeast. After step 5, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Then, continue with the recipe as written.
  • Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
  • Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute with this recipe.
  • Yeast: If you would prefer to use active dry yeast, substitute an equal amount for the instant yeast. After step 5, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Then, continue with the recipe as written.
  • Flour: You don't want to use too much flour when making rolls. Too much flour will give you a heavy, dense, or dry roll. The dough should still feel a bit sticky, and it's better to flour your hands when shaping the rolls rather than continuing to add additional flour to the dough. 
  • Rising: Since the resting/rising time is so short in this recipe, it's important that you have a warm spot for the rolls to rest in. If your kitchen is cool, you can create a warm spot by turning your oven to 350F for exactly 60 seconds and then turning the oven off. This will give you a spot that encourages the rolls to rise. 
  • Baking temperature: You may find that you need to decrease the given baking temperature. My older oven worked better with this recipe at 400F. However, my newer oven bakes hotter, and I find that I need to decrease the temperature to 375F in order for the rolls to completely bake though before the tops over-brown. So, please adjust the baking temperature according to the way that your oven bakes.
