Best 4 Herb Buttermilk Dinner Rolls Recipes

ONE HOUR GARLIC HERB DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Place 4 tablespoons of butter, milk, and water in a 2 cup microwave-safe measuring cup. Heat on high for 1 minute. The milk mixture should be warm to the touch, about 110-115ºF. Continue to heat in 10-15 second intervals until the milk mixture reaches that temperature. If it's too hot, just let it cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, add 4 cups of flour, potato flakes, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, rosemary, and 2 tablespoons of parsley and just stir to combine.
• Start the machine on the 'stir' setting and slowly stream in the warm milk mixture and the egg. When combined, increase the speed of the mixer to medium-low and allow the mixer to run for 4-5 minutes. After the first 1-2 minutes the dough should start pulling away from the sides of the bowl, if it doesn't add an additional ¼ cup of flour and let the mixer run for another minute, if the dough still hasn't formed into a ball, add the remaining ¼ cup of flour. You may or may not need to add the additional flour. I didn't.
• Remove the dough from the hook, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. While the dough is rising, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 180ºF. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 15-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter dipped in flour, cut the dough into 12 or 16 equal pieces. You can weigh the dough to make it more accurate but I usually just eyeball it. Fold the seams in and roll into a smooth ball. Place the dough seam side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Using a pastry brush, brush water on the tops of the rolls so they don't dry out in the oven. Turn the oven OFF and place the baking dish in the oven. Allow the dough to rise for 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR UNTIL THE 20 MINUTES ARE UP.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and place on the counter while you preheat the oven to 375ºF. Bake the dinner rolls for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are nice and golden. Baking time will be slightly shorter if you made them into 16 rolls (around 14-18 minutes). Prepare the garlic butter sauce (step #8) in the last 5-7 minutes while the rolls are still in the oven.
• In a small saucepan, combine the garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heat over medium heat. When the butter melts and you can smell the garlic, add the remaining tablespoon of chopped parsley. Add a pinch of salt and stir. Brush the tops of the prepared rolls with garlic butter mixture. Serve warm.

1 HOUR BUTTERMILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9x13 inch pan.
• Add buttermilk and 4 tablespoons butter to a liquid measuring cup. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until butter is mostly melted. Buttermilk should be very warm but you should still be able to touch it without burning your finger (about 110 degrees).
• In a large bowl, combine honey and yeast.
• Whisk in buttermilk and butter mixture.
• Whisk in salt and egg.
• Add 2 1/2 cups flour.
• Mix (by hand, or with an electric hand mixer, or you can do this in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment) until flour is completely incorporated.
• Gradually add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough comes together just enough to form a ball. (It will stick be quite sticky! You should be able to handle it with heavily floured hands.)
• With floured hands, transfer to a lightly floured surface (be careful not to use too much flour as it will dry out your dough) and knead for 4-5 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Divide dough into 12 equal-size pieces and roll each into a ball. Place 1 inch apart in prepared pan.
• Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise for 10 minutes in a warm place (I place mine near the preheated oven).
• Uncover, and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
• Brush immediately with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and serve.

SOFT BUTTERMILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup butter, egg, sugar, salt and yeast mixture, then add 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 minute. Add remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, to form a soft dough., Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 20 balls. Place in a greased 13x9-in. pan. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 350°. Brush rolls lightly with remaining buttermilk and butter. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack; serve warm.

HERBY BUTTER DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter and brush two 12-cup muffin tins with it. Put the frozen rolls in the cups of the muffin tins. Cover and allow to rise for several hours at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.
• Melt the remaining 3 1/2 sticks butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Mix in the rosemary, thyme and lemon zest and heat until warmed through. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the butter mixture.
• Bake the rolls according to the package directions (usually 400 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes), until the rolls are a deep golden brown on top. Dab with more of the butter mixture and serve warm.
