CLOVERLEAF ROLLS



Cloverleaf Rolls image

A basket of cloverleaf rolls might look humble sitting next to a burnished bird or a crown roast, but don't underestimate its importance at a meal. Buttery and salt-kissed, the little pillows are essential from beginning to end. Start dinner with a warm roll, maybe two, split and swiped with butter. End it with another one or two used to mop up the delicious dregs of gravy. Throw in a few more in the middle because they are just too good not to. Let's hope it is a big basket. Thank goodness the recipe doubles easily. They're at their very best served warm.

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1/4-ounce/2 1/4 teaspoons/7 grams) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk, warmed to 105 to 110 degrees
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar into the milk. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine the remaining sugar, flour and salt. With the mixer on low, add the yeast mixture and the egg and knead until the dry ingredients have been incorporated (you may have to help it along at first with a spatula) and the dough is smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the melted butter (the dough will slosh around in the butter for a few minutes, but will eventually absorb it all) and continue to knead the dough until smooth, increasing the speed to medium, another 5 to 10 minutes. The dough will be shiny and elastic; if it's at all sticky, scrape down the sides of the bowl and gather the dough into a neat ball (no need to add extra flour). Cover the bowl with plastic and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Gently tip the dough out onto a work surface. You shouldn't need flour at this point. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Work with one piece at a time and keep the other pieces covered. Divide each piece into 3 equal pieces, roll each piece into a tight ball and place into one cup. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray lightly with plastic wrap and set aside to double again, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The dough should look puffy and spring back slowly when pressed gently.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Remove the plastic wrap and without deflating the dough, gently brush the rolls with butter. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

I have been making these wonderful buns for years they always turn out perfect every time, very light and airy --- this dough can be baked without using the muffin tins also just roll into balls let rise, and bake on a cookie sheet --- to make cheddar cloverleaf rolls just sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on the bottom of each the muffin tins then also between the small dough balls, you may sprinkle a small amount on top of the balls also, rise for 30 minutes and then bake --- *NOTE* if you are using the cheese option you must grease the tins *very* well, I use my recipe#78579

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 rolls (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)
1 tablespoon dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon salt

  • In the mixer bowl, mix in 3 cups flour, the remaining sugar, melted butter, warm milk, egg and salt.
  • Add in the yeast/sugar mix.
  • With a kneader blade fitted on a heavy-duty mixer, knead and gradually add in the remaining flour, until a soft dough sticky is formed (do not add in too much flour, as the baked buns will have a heavy texture).
  • Remove from the bowl and let rest on the counter for 10 minutes, covered.
  • After 10 minutes, knead gently for about 30 seconds.
  • Coat a glass or stainless steel bowl with oil.
  • Transfer the dough to the bowl.
  • Cover; and let rise in a warm draft-free area, for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough.
  • Remove from bowl then place the dough on the counter.
  • Slice the dough evenly in half lengthwise down the middle, set one piece aside.
  • Shape piece of dough into a chunky long rope using hands.
  • Slice into 18 even pieces (don't worry if each piece of dough is not the exact same size).
  • Shape into about 1-1/2-inch balls or a little more.
  • Place 3 balls into each muffin tin.
  • Repeat with remaining piece of dough and muffin tin.
  • Cover the tins with a clean tea towel and allow to rise warm place for 30-40 minutes (rising time will depend on the temperature of your kitchen).
  • Remove the tea towel; brush tops with melted butter.
  • Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes, or until buns are a dark golden colour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cheddar cheese, squash, and cloverleaf rolls create a tastier and more appetizing dish.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other herbs to create a flavor profile that suits your taste buds.
  • Don't overstuff the rolls: Too much filling can make the rolls difficult to close and can cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Bake until golden brown: The rolls should be baked until they are golden brown on top. This ensures that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Serve warm: Cheddar squash cloverleaf rolls are best served warm. This allows the cheese to be melted and gooey and the squash to be soft and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cheddar squash cloverleaf rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. With their cheesy, savory filling and soft, fluffy rolls, these rolls are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
