BUTTERHORNS

To DIE for, buttery crescent rolls that divide up the work between two days. This yeast-raised dough may be kept in the refrigerator, and used over a period of 2 weeks! So you can make them fresh when you like.

Provided by CPSC

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 10h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup butter
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
5 ½ cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Crumble the compressed yeast into a small bowl, and mix in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat milk until a skin forms on the top. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place 1 cup of butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a large bowl. Pour the hot milk over them, and stir until butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to just above body temperature. Beat in the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each one, then stir in the yeast mixture. Add 3 cups of flour, and mix until well blended. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, mixing as well as you can. The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • After the dough has risen, punch down, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Divide the dough into four pieces. Use one piece at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the piece of dough out into a 12 inch circle. Spread about 2 tablespoons of butter over the surface. Cut into 8 wedges, as you would a pizza. Roll each wedge starting at the wide end, and ending at the point. Place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bend the ends so that they are crescent shaped. Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. This will take about 2 hours because the dough is cold.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.

BUTTERHORN DINNER ROLLS



Butterhorn Dinner Rolls image

Butterhorn dinner rolls date all the way back to colonial times, but I've streamlined the process to make this recipe easier for new and inexperienced bakers. These classic dinner rolls are light but rich, and slightly sweet. They're perfect for special occasions or holiday dinners, alongside any main course.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 large egg yolk
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast onto warm water. Stir gently and let sit until foamy and frothy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the yeast is proofing, place butter in a saucepan with milk and white sugar. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl; let cool until just very warm to the touch and about 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups flour, kosher salt, yeast mixture, and egg; mix gently with a spatula until it all comes together and forms a very thick and wet batter. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix with your fingers, incorporating just the amount of flour you need, until dough comes together into a soft, sticky ball.
  • Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Grease the bowl with butter. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Transfer dough back to a work surface and press it into a 1-inch thick circle. Flip over and continue pressing until circle is 1/2-inch thick; use a rolling pin if needed to achieve correct thickness. Use a pizza tool to cut dough into 12 equal wedges.
  • Starting at the larger end of one wedge, roll toward the point, stretching the ends of the dough out for the first few inches. Pinch and press the point into the dough to seal and place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Let rolls sit until they puff up a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cooked through and just starting to turn a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush hot rolls with melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
