Best Herb Buttermilk Dinner Rolls Recipes

1 HOUR BUTTERMILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 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.

Add remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, to form a soft dough., Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 20 balls. Place in a greased 13x9-in. pan. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 350°. Brush rolls lightly with remaining buttermilk and butter.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter and brush two 12-cup muffin tins with it. Put the frozen rolls in the cups of the muffin tins. Cover and allow to rise for several hours at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.
• Melt the remaining 3 1/2 sticks butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Mix in the rosemary, thyme and lemon zest and heat until warmed through. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the butter mixture.

• Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1/2 cup water, buttermilk, egg, butter, sugar and salt in large bowl. Whisk in yeast mixture to combine.
• Slowly stir in 3 1/2 cups of flour, using hands if necessary, until soft dough forms. Slowly add up to 1/4 cup additional flour if needed to form soft dough that pulls away from sides of bowl.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough 7 to 10 min or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly buttered large bowl; turn to coat all sides with butter.
• Cover with plastic wrap and towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently punch down dough; turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; cut each half into 8 pieces.
• Roll each piece into desired shape; place on baking sheet. Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray, cover rolls. Let rise in warm place 30 to 40 min or until double in size. (To make ahead, shape rolls, place on baking sheet and cover with greased plastic wrap. Refridgerate 4 hours or overnight. When ready to bake, let stand at room temperature 30 min before baking.).
