Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees), plus 1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 package active dry yeast
4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup yellow cornmeal, plus more for sprinkling
2 cups bread flour
Extra-virgin olive oil, for bowl and plastic wrap

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine warm milk, water, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add 3 egg yolks, salt, butter, cornmeal, and flour; mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Change to dough hook attachment; beat until dough is smooth, soft, and does not stick to your fingers when squeezed, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a clean surface. Knead into a ball; place in a bowl brushed with oil. Cover securely with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Punch back the dough, and divide into 12 balls (2 1/4 ounces each). On a clean surface, using the palm of your hand, roll dough gently, pressing down while rolling to shape into a 2 1/4-inch-diameter ball. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat rolling until all the dough is used. Loosely cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place to rise for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine remaining egg yolk and the remaining tablespoon milk. Brush tops of rolls with egg wash. Sprinkle rolls with cornmeal. Bake until deep golden brown, rotating pan once during baking, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

YEASTED CORNMEAL ROLLS



Yeasted Cornmeal Rolls image

These rolls are best served warm but can be made one day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal, plus more for dusting
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/2 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine milk with butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts. Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk yeast and sugar into 1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees). Let stand until foamy, then stir in cornmeal mixture. Lightly beat 2 eggs; stir into yeast-and-cornmeal mixture. Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour until dough is tacky but not sticky. (If dough is sticky, stir in more flour.) Transfer to a work surface dusted with flour. Knead with floured hands, dusting more flour onto hands and surface as needed, until dough is elastic and springs back when pressed with a finger, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a large bowl brushed with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. The dough can be made up to this point and left torise up to 12 hours in the refrigerator; remove from refrigerator 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Punch down dough. Form into a ball and place on a clean, undusted work surface. Quarter dough, then divide each quarter into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and space evenly on two rimmed baking sheets that are generously dusted with cornmeal (8 per sheet). Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Beat remaining egg. Brush tops of rolls with egg, then slash a 1/4-inch-deep X in tops. Lightly dust with cornmeal and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until rolls are puffed, golden, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottoms, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a basket lined with a clean towel and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
