Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 10h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup butter
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
5 ½ cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Crumble the compressed yeast into a small bowl, and mix in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat milk until a skin forms on the top. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place 1 cup of butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a large bowl. Pour the hot milk over them, and stir until butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to just above body temperature. Beat in the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each one, then stir in the yeast mixture. Add 3 cups of flour, and mix until well blended. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, mixing as well as you can. The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • After the dough has risen, punch down, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Divide the dough into four pieces. Use one piece at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the piece of dough out into a 12 inch circle. Spread about 2 tablespoons of butter over the surface. Cut into 8 wedges, as you would a pizza. Roll each wedge starting at the wide end, and ending at the point. Place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bend the ends so that they are crescent shaped. Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. This will take about 2 hours because the dough is cold.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.

BUTTERHORN DINNER ROLLS



Butterhorn Dinner Rolls image

Butterhorn dinner rolls date all the way back to colonial times, but I've streamlined the process to make this recipe easier for new and inexperienced bakers. These classic dinner rolls are light but rich, and slightly sweet. They're perfect for special occasions or holiday dinners, alongside any main course.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 large egg yolk
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast onto warm water. Stir gently and let sit until foamy and frothy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the yeast is proofing, place butter in a saucepan with milk and white sugar. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl; let cool until just very warm to the touch and about 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups flour, kosher salt, yeast mixture, and egg; mix gently with a spatula until it all comes together and forms a very thick and wet batter. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix with your fingers, incorporating just the amount of flour you need, until dough comes together into a soft, sticky ball.
  • Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Grease the bowl with butter. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Transfer dough back to a work surface and press it into a 1-inch thick circle. Flip over and continue pressing until circle is 1/2-inch thick; use a rolling pin if needed to achieve correct thickness. Use a pizza tool to cut dough into 12 equal wedges.
  • Starting at the larger end of one wedge, roll toward the point, stretching the ends of the dough out for the first few inches. Pinch and press the point into the dough to seal and place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Let rolls sit until they puff up a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cooked through and just starting to turn a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush hot rolls with melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.

BUTTERHORNS



Butterhorns image

Butterhorns fall into two camps: savory or sweet. These are the latter, filled with a tender mince of nuts and topped with an almond-flavored frosting. Sweet butterhorns are a favorite of the in-house bakeries at the Bavarian Inn and Zehnder's of Frankenmuth, the two big all-you-can-eat chicken dinner restaurants in Frankenmuth, Mich. This recipe comes from Dorothy Zehnder, a founder of the Bavarian Inn. Tucking in the corners of each butterhorn before rolling helps contain the filling during baking.

Provided by Sara Bonisteel

Time 1h45m

Yield 36 butterhorns

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups/512 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/227 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for greasing the pan
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 teaspoon/20 grams active dry or instant yeast
1 1/4 cups/284 grams lukewarm whole milk
4 egg yolks, well beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups/320 grams light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup/70 grams finely chopped almonds or walnuts
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons/15 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups/170 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon/14 grams unsalted butter, melted
3 to 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup/70 grams finely chopped walnuts or almonds, to garnish

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine flour, butter, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut butter into flour, until the butter is the size of small peas.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the yeast into the lukewarm milk, then add beaten egg yolks and almond extract. Pour yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir lightly, handling as gently as pie crust, until the shaggy mass comes together in a sticky ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Make the filling: The day you plan to bake the butterhorns, combine the sugar, almonds, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, flour and almond extract in a separate medium bowl. It should resemble a wet sand with bits of nuts. If the filling is dry, add another tablespoon of cream. Set aside.
  • Assemble the butterhorns: Lightly grease 3 baking sheets. Remove pastry dough from the refrigerator and divide dough into three equal rounds (about 13 ounces/365 grams each). Keep the other rounds refrigerated while you work with one piece. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 16-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Cut each circle into 12 wedges, like you're cutting a pizza. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling just inside the curved edge of the wedge, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  • Fold the closest two corners over the filling to avoid leakage, then roll tightly all the way up to the point. (It should look like a little croissant.) Arrange pieces on a greased pan 2 inches apart, 12 butterhorns per pan, making sure that the point is tucked under to prevent it from unrolling while rising. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds. Let horns rise, uncovered, in a warm location until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • About 30 minutes before you're ready to bake, heat the oven to 365 degrees and make the frosting: Combine confectioners' sugar, melted butter, heavy cream and almond extract in a large bowl, and mix until creamy and spreadable. Cover and set aside.
  • Bake butterhorns for 12 to 15 minutes, until a light brown. Frost while still warm, and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before you start working with it. This will help keep the dough flaky.
  • Work quickly when you are assembling the butterhorns. The longer the butter is exposed to the warmth of your hands, the more difficult it will be to keep the dough flaky.
  • If the dough becomes too warm and sticky, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up.
  • Bake the butterhorns until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the butterhorns cool slightly before you enjoy them.

Conclusion:

Cottage butterhorns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their flaky crust and sweet, buttery filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give cottage butterhorns a try.
