Kittencals Buttery Pan Rolls Recipes

KITTENCAL'S BUTTERY PAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Generously grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan (preferably metal) with melted butter; set aside.
• In a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add in 4 cups flour; set aside.
• In a small saucepan heat the 1 cup full-fat milk with 1/4 cup butter, salt and 3 tablespoons sugar until the butter starts to melt, stirring with a spoon (butter does not have to completely melt) set aside until warm and not hot, to speed things up place in the fridge for about 20 minutes this will cool it down faster, the mixture should be warm but not hot.
• When the milk mixture is warm, proof 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon yeast in 1/2 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes or until foamy.
• Add the yeast and the warm milk/butter mixture and the egg to the bowl with the flour in it.
• Start mixing, adding more flour only if needed to create a soft semi sticky dough that holds around the kneader blade (it might take up to 5 cups of flour).
• Keep adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time as needed and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
• Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, and let sit covered with a clean tea towel on the counter for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, knead the dough gently for about 15 seconds into a ball (the dough will come together nicely).
• Place in an oiled bowl.
• Cover and let rise about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough.
• Divide dough into 12 pieces, and shape into round balls.
• Place the dough balls into the prepared baking dish (fitting 12 balls evenly in the dish with 3 balls across and 4 rows down, if you have extra dough balls place into the freezer to bake another time).
• If desired, brush the dough balls with melted butter, this is only optioanl.
• Cover with a clean tea towel, and let rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until ALMOST double in size).
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until dark golden brown on top.

BUTTERY PAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Stir well and set aside.
• Combine milk, water and 1/4 cup of the butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let mixture cool to 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C).
• Gradually add milk to flour mixture and beat at low speed of an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Then beat for 2 minutes at high speed. Gradually stir in the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a well greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Punch dough down, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Melt remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter.
• Shape dough into 40 balls and dip each one in the melted butter. Place the balls in two greased 9 inch square baking pans. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes or until rolls are golden. Brush warm rolls with any remaining melted butter.

KITTENCAL'S JUMBO CINNAMON BUNS/ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough; fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook.
• Place 4 cups flour in the stainless steel bowl; set aside.
• Proof the yeast with 2 teaspoons sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• Meanwhile in a microwave-safe bowl place the milk with butter cubes, salt and sugar; microwave on high until just slightly warmed (about 1 minute or a little more the butter does not have to be completely melted) stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
• Add the mixture to the bowl along with the egg.
• When the yeast is foamy add to the bowl.
• Start kneading adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading will take about 8-10 minutes).
• Remove to a lightly floured surface, cover with a clean tea towel and allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
• Shape the dough into a ball and place into a greased bowl; cover and rise for about 1-1/2 hours or until doubled (the rising time will vary depending on how warm your kitchen is).
• Punch down the dough and allow to rest in bowl for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar with cinnamon.
• Transfer to a floured surface, roll into about 18 x 13-inch rectangle with short end facing you to make rolling up easier (I just spread out the dough using my hands, the measurments do not have to be exact).
• Spread the softened butter over the dough (you can use more than 1/2 cup buter if desired, I usually do!).
• Sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter, sprinkle with raisins and/or nuts if using.
• Starting at the short end roll up the dough as tightly as possible (the dough will spread out even more while rolling).
• Pinch the long seam together as best you can, you might also want to slice a small piece off both ends to even off the roll).
• Using a serrated knife slice log into two even halves, then slice each half into 6 even slices (this will give you 12 pieces, although I sometimes get less).
• Generously butter two 9-inch round cake pans (or use one 13 x 9-inch pan and place 3 rounds across, 4 rounds down in the pan).
• In each round cake pan place 5 dough rounds around the pan and 1 dough round in the middle placing cut-side down.
• Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled (this may take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or more depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
• Set oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake until browned about 25 minutes.
• Cool the buns slightly then drizzle the icing over the warm buns.

ANGEL'S RICH AND BUTTERY PAN ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add the ingredients in the order listed in your bread machine manual (per manufacturer).
• Select dough cycle and push start.
• When cycle is done, remove the dough to a lightly floured board, cut into 12 - 24 pieces.
• Shape each piece into a roll and place in a lightly greased muffin pan.
• Cover and let rise until double in size (about 50 - 60 minutes).
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 - 20 minutes (depending on size) or till golden.
• (smaller rolls will be done closer to 10 minutes - larger rolls closer to 20).
• *Note: You may brush with an egg wash prior to baking (1 egg + 3 Tbls. water) or brush with butter straight out of the oven! -- or leave plain. You can also add sesame seeds or poppy seeds on the rolls after you egg wash them prior to baking! :) The possibilities are endless! :).
• **For those watching their sodium content you can use as little as 1/4 tsp of salt and they will still turn out wonderful.
