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.

CORNMEAL ROLLS



CORNMEAL ROLLS image

Categories     Bread     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 c. cornmeal 1 pkg. dry yeast (or 1 T.)
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. warm water
2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening
2 beaten eggs
2 c. milk
melted butter
4 c. flour/cornmeal for dusting

Steps:

  • 1) In 2-qt. saucepan, cook cornmeal, sugar, salt, shortening, milk over medium heat til thick like oatmeal. Cool to lukewarm (30-45 min.). 2) Dissolve yeast in water. Add to above ingredients when cooled. 3) Beat in eggs. 4) Pour into large bowl. Add flour. Knead 10 min., adding more flour as needed to the point where the dough is no longer sticky. 5) Double in bulk. (Lightly grease dough or spray with Pam to prevent crust forming while doubling.) 6) Roll out 1" thick. Cut with bisquit cutter or glass. Place on greased sheets. Brush with butter. Dust with cornmeal. Double (1/2 the time as first time; or refrigerate overnite, take out 20-30 min. before baking). 7) Bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 15 minutes

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cornmeal: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly ground cornmeal. If you don't have a mill, you can find cornmeal at most grocery stores.
  • Add Sugar and Salt: Cornmeal can be a bit bland on its own, so adding sugar and salt helps to balance out the flavor. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your taste.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the rolls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allowing the dough to rise before baking gives the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Bake the Rolls Until Golden Brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of ingredients. Whether you like them plain or topped with butter, honey, or jam, cornmeal rolls are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying bread, give cornmeal rolls a try!
