Quick Buttermilk 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.

OLD FASHIONED BUTTERMILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup of the warm water in a small bowl; stir in yeast. Let stand 10 min or until yeast is dissolved and foamy.
• 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.).
• Heat oven to 375*. Bake 17 to 20 min or until light golden brown.

BUTTERMILK ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour, salt and yeast until well combined; set aside. In a small pot, heat buttermilk until warm to the touch (about 115°F). (Be careful not to overheat the milk since it may cook the egg.) Remove pot from heat and whisk in honey, 3 tablespoons of the butter and egg. Pour buttermilk mixture into bowl with flour mixture and whisk until a thick batter is formed. Stir in remaining 1 3/4 cups flour until a soft dough is formed.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting dough with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking, until smooth and no longer sticky, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Or, using your kirchenaid or similar mixer, knead the soft dough in the machine for several minutes until the dough is smooth and cool to the touch.
• For cloverleaf rolls, divide dough into 36 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange 3 balls of dough in each cup of a greased 12-muffin tin. For large pull apart rolls, divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a small ball. Arrange balls of dough snugly in a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Brush rolls with a bit of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then cover loosely and set aside in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Brush rolls with remaining butter and bake until deep golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot, spread with butter, if you like.

SOFT BUTTERMILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup butter, egg, sugar, salt and yeast mixture, then add 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 minute. 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. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack; serve warm.

FAST BUTTERMILK YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the buttermilk, water and butter together, stirring over low heat just till the butter begins to melt.
• Remove from heat and pour the liquid into another container.
• Stir as the butter finishes melting. The liquid should feel hot to the touch, but not scalding.
• Stir together 2 1/2 cups flour with the yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda.
• Stir in the oats.
• Mix the warm liquid into the dry mixture and stir till a sticky dough forms.
• Sprinkle the remaining flour on a board or counter top and turn the dough out on it, coating the dough with the flour.
• Knead gently for about 5 minutes, working in more flour as you go.
• The dough should remain fairly soft, but become smoother and more elastic.
• Form the dough into a rope about 20 inches long, then cut it into 12 equal pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball, pulling the sides down and pinching together at the bottom.
• Arrange the balls on a butter baking sheet, seam side down, and cover with a tea towel.
• Or, put balls of dough close together in a buttered 10-inch cake pan; they will grow together as they rise, forming a "loaf" of rolls that will easily pull apart.
• Either way, leave the rolls to rise in a warm, sheltered place for about an hour (less if using fast-rising yeast).
• Bake the rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for 20-22 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and sound hollow when the bottom is tapped.
• Cool the rolls on a rack for a few minutes before serving.

QUICK BUTTERMILK ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Using a large bowl add 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar salt & baking soda, and stir until it is well blended together. pour into a mixing bowl. PREP TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROOFING TIME FOR BREAD TO RISE.
• 2. Using a small sauce pan, add the buttermilk with the water and shortening, & place it over low heat until warm(120 degrees to 130 degrees F) I USED A THERMOMETER FOR THIS, BECAUSE IF IT IS TOO HOT IT KILLS THE YEAST, AND UNDERHEATED THE YEAST WILL NOT ACTIVATE.
• 3. Now gradually add the milk mixture to the dry flour yeast mixture, mixing at low speed of an electric mixer.
• 4. Increase speed of mixer to medium & beat 3 minutes on medium speed then stir in remaining flour & beat till mixed together.
• 5. TURN DOUGH OUT ONTO LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE, AND KNEAD UNTIL SMOOTH & ELASTIC ABOUT 5 MINUTES. Please NOTE, I chose to use my dough hook attachment for this step, switched to dough hook and Kneaded for 5 minutes, either technique will work.
• 6. Now grease a large bowl, add the kneaded dough, be sure to grease the top of the dough in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel free from drafts.
• 7. Allow to rise until double in bulk, about 45 minutes or so.
• 8. Then punch down and shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Grease a 15X10 inch Jelly Roll type pan, and place the rolls on pan about 1 1/2 inches apart. Allow dough to rise a second time in in a warm area, about 85 degrees F, an area free from drafts allow to rise about 35 minutes or until rolls double in size.
• 9. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen dinner Rolls. Both my husband & I enjoyed a hot dinner roll fresh from the oven with butter before dinner, just could not resist.
