Soft Buttermilk Dinner Rolls
Description
This recipe combines buttermilk and honey with melted butter and eggs to create a rich dough, mixed into flour with instant yeast and salt. The dough should be soft but not too sticky and is mixed until it cleans the bowl sides. If needed, extra flour is added sparingly.
The dough rises covered in a warm, draft-free environment inside a turned-off 200°F oven until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours. Formed into rolls and placed in a greased pan, they receive an egg wash and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before baking, which adds a glossy, nutty topping.
These rolls have a soft texture that complements many meals and can be stored wrapped at room temperature for up to five days or frozen for up to six months. Proper yeast handling, including activation for active dry yeast or using instant yeast as directed, ensures consistent rise and texture.
Using fresh yeast within date and proper storage prolong yeast potency. If frozen, allow yeast to reach room temperature before use, and refrigerate or freeze opened yeast properly for longer shelf life.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup honey
- ⅓ cup butter unsalted and melted
- 2 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (or more if needed)
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 200℉ then turn it off. This is to provide a warm and draft free environment for your dough while it rises.
- In a medium size bowl whisk together the buttermilk, honey, melted butter and eggs. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your mixer add the 3 cups of flour, instant yeast, salt and mix to combine, using your dough hook attachment.
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the mixer bowl and mix for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough comes clean from the side of the bowl. If the dough is too wet or too sticky add more flour as needed, but no more than 4 cups. The dough should be soft.
- Place the dough in a large metal or glass bowl that has been lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in the prepared oven. Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour to 1½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray or grease with butter. Set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface and remove the dough from the bowl on to the work surface. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into rounds and place into the prepared baking pan. Place a clean kitchen towel over the top or cover with plastic wrap and place back in the oven (no need to preheat the oven again) and let rise again for another 30 min or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Brush the rolls with the beaten egg then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 or 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- The dough is very soft; add extra flour cautiously, no more than 4 cups in total, to achieve the right consistency.
- If using active dry yeast, activate it in warm water until frothy before mixing; subtract that water amount from the buttermilk.
- Check yeast expiration dates to avoid inactive yeast affecting rise.
- Store unopened yeast in cool, dry places; refrigerate or freeze opened yeast in airtight containers.
- Freeze rolls by placing them individually on a baking sheet before transferring to containers; thaw at room temperature before eating.
- Rolls keep well wrapped at room temperature for up to five days, maintaining freshness and softness.
