KITTENCAL'S SOFT AND TENDER PULL-APART GARLIC ROLLS/BUNS



Kittencal's Soft and Tender Pull-Apart Garlic Rolls/Buns image

if you are a garlic-lover then you will love these tender soft homemade buns, I suggest for U.S. members to use 2-1/2 cups bread flour or can use half bread and all-purpose flour, for Canadian members you may use 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, make certain that your egg is at room temperature you may speed up the process by placing the cold egg in a small bowl of fairly warm water (not hot) for about 15 minutes --- these are at their best when eaten warm out of the oven :)

Time 2h55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter, melted (can use a little more butter)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (more for sprinkling on top of buns if desired)
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast (2-1/4 teaspoons)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder (can use 1-1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm milk (not hot, and not scalded)
2 tablespoons shortening, room temperature
1 large egg (room temperature)

Steps:

  • Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter then mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
  • Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
  • Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
  • In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
  • In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
  • After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
  • Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
  • Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
  • Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
  • Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
  • Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.
  • For even more garlic flavor pinch a small amount of garlic powder between your fingers then sprinkle over the top of each dough ball.
  • Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a perfect rise, ensure the yeast is active and the water is lukewarm (not hot).
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the buns will be tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place, free from drafts. This will help the dough rise evenly.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix it thoroughly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead of making your own.
  • To make the buns ahead of time, shape them and let them rise. Then, place them on a baking sheet and freeze. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bake as directed.
  • You can also make the garlic butter ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
