ROSEMARY PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS



Rosemary Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls image

As far as holiday dinner rolls go, these are pretty lean. You can increase the amount of melted butter and toss in a egg or two, but since these are generally going to be eaten with fairly rich food, I prefer a lighter approach.

Time 2h55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon milk
coarse sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Set aside in a warm place until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine 1 cup milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes; remove pan from heat.
  • Combine 2 cups flour, yeast mixture, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; mix on low until no dry spots remain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue adding flour until a firm dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead on medium until elastic and soft but still tacky, about 6 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and coat with olive oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and shape into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 36 equally-sized pieces. Form each piece into a ball, pinching the seams on the underside, creating a smooth, round top.
  • Lightly beat egg with 1 teaspoon milk in a small bowl.
  • Transfer dough balls to the prepared baking sheet in 3 rows of 12, placing them close together but not touching. Brush tops lightly with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Categories     Techniques

Number Of Ingredients 6

340 g (1 1/2 cups or 12 oz) Milk
57 g (1/4 cup or 4 Tbs) Salted butter
560 g (~4 1/2 cups) Bread flour
10 g (1 1/2 tsp) Salt
30 g (2 Tbs) Sugar
4 g (1 tsp) Instant yeast

Steps:

  • Melt butter into warm milk. The milk/butter mixture should be warm to the touch. Not hot. (Over 130º F (54º C) can kill the yeast).
  • Pour the milk/butter into a large mixing bowl and then mix in the combined dry ingredients until fairly well incorporated.
  • Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Knead for 5 minutes or do series of short stretch and folds per the Dinner Roll video.
  • Let proof at room temp until dough has about doubled in volume (roughly 2-3 hours).
  • Divide dough in balls according to what you're baking. 57 g (2 oz) balls for dinner rolls. 85 g (3 oz) for hotdog buns. 114 g (4 oz) for hamburger buns. Or you can use all the dough to make a sandwich loaf.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let proof another hour or so.
  • Bake in 400º F (204º C) preheated oven. Pull-apart dinner rolls take about 25 minutes. Hamburger and hotdog buns take about 18 minutes. Loaf of bread about 35-40 minutes. Can check doneness with instant read thermometer when internal temp reaches 200º F (93º C).

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups whole milk
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus additional for greasing bowl and pan
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried garlic flakes
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and 8 tablespoons butter. Heat until the butter is melted, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to 105-115 F. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Let stand to allow yeast to bloom, 10 minutes.Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Mix on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • After the yeast has bloomed, add the milk mixture to the mixer. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute; then increase the speed to medium-low and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease a large bowl. Remove the dough from the mixer, shape it into a round, and place into greased bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. In the meantime, grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • When the dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl onto a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Use a bench scraper to divide the dough in half. Gently roll each piece of dough into a log 12 inches long. Then cut each log into 6 equal pieces.
  • Using the cupped palm of your hand, roll and shape each piece into a taut ball against the floured work surface; close any visible seams with your fingers. Transfer the dough balls to the greased baking pan and space them out evenly. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • When the rolls have finished rising, prepare the "Everything" Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flaky sea salt, onion flakes, garlic flakes, and sesame seeds.Brush the tops of the rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then sprinkle with the "Everything" Topping. (Tip: Sprinkling from a height will ensure even distribution.) Bake until the rolls are golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup warm whole milk
2 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
2 tablespoon honey
2 eggs
3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature + melted for brushing

Steps:

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk, yeast, honey, eggs, flour, and salt. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter and mix until combined, about 2-3 minutes more. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. 4. Punch the dough down and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle that's about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the remaining 4 tablespoons of softened butter all over dough, being careful not to break through the dough with butter. 5. Fold one half of the rectangle towards the center and fold the other half over the top of the first layer so you have three dough layers. Cut the dough into 12 equal squares. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Cover the pan, and let the rolls rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until they're puffy. Alternately, you can place the pan in the fridge to rise overnight. 6. reheat the oven to 350. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're golden brown on top. 7. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the melted butter. Pull them apart to serve warm.

FLAKY DINNER ROLLS



Flaky Dinner Rolls image

This recipe was modified from the Nov 2005 Cooking Light, so they get all the credit in the world. It was one of the first recipes that I've made where the final product looked EXACTLY like the picture in the magazine. Very good recipe. My version tasted similar to crescent rolls, but much better and homemade!

Categories     Breads

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 rolls, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (or 1 package)
1 cup warm 2% low-fat milk (at 100-110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can use cooking spray)

Steps:

  • Heat milk in microwave for about 20 seconds or until you can get it between 100 - 110 degrees F. No hotter, or the yeast will die.
  • Dissolve sugar into milk, then add yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In large bowl (or KitchenAid mixer bowl), add 2 3/4 cups of the flour and the 3/4 tsp of salt. Stir lights (or start mixer with dough hook attachment).
  • Add yeast mixture to flour, continue to mix. If mixture does not pull off sides after about 3-4 minutes of mixing, then slowly add remaining 1/4 cup of flour.
  • After dough ball is formed, turn dough out onto floured surface and knead about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • On floured surface, roll dough into 12 x 10 inch rectangle. Use 1/3 of softened butter and spread on top of dough.
  • Working with the long side, fold up bottom 1/3 of dough, then fold top 1/3 down so that you have a 12 x 3 inch log. Put on cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 15 minutes until dough is cool and easy to work with.
  • Remove dough from freezer, remove plastic wrap, and roll dough back into a 12 x 10 inch rectangle without unfolding the log, since you're essentially pressing down and creating layers (it was easier for me to work dough with my fingers first, similar to making a rectangular pizza), then using rolling pin to stretch out further.
  • Spread another 1/3 of the butter on top of the rectangle, fold into log you did before, cover with plastic and put back in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove dough from freezer, remove plastic, and now roll into 12 x 8 inch rectangle. Spread remaining butter onto dough, then working with the long end (12 inch side), roll up like a jelly roll. Slightly pinch seam once it's rolled up, but don't seal up the ends.
  • Cut log into 12 equal portions (this is easiest to do by cutting log in half, then into quarters, then cutting each quarter into 3 equal sizes, so you have 12 total).
  • Use vegetable oil to lightly grease 12 muffin tins. Place dough slices, cut sides up, into each muffin tin, and lightly brush the tops with oil.
  • Loosely cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake rolls at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes (watch closely after 15 mins) until golden brown. Remove from muffin tins and place on wire rack to cool. (I like to melt 2 TBS butter and brush the rolls as soon as they come out of the oven for that extra touch).
  • Serve warm, and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly. Ensure the water is warm to the touch (around 110-115°F) and not too hot, as this can kill the yeast. If using active dry yeast, let it sit in the warm water with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. If using instant yeast, you can add it directly to the flour mixture.
  • Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the rolls their chewy texture. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough passes the windowpane test (when you stretch a small piece of dough, it should form a thin, translucent membrane).
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room. To create a warm environment, you can place the dough in a turned-off oven with a bowl of hot water.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces. This helps remove any large air bubbles and ensures that the rolls are evenly sized. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place it in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again until they are puffy and almost double in size. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the rolls, but it is usually around 20-25 minutes. To check if the rolls are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them; it should come out clean.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with salt as soon as they come out of the oven. This gives them a shiny, golden crust and enhances their flavor.

Conclusion:

These easy flaky pull-apart dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are soft, fluffy, and have a slightly crispy exterior. The best part is that they are incredibly easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients. Follow the tips above to ensure your rolls turn out perfect every time.
