ROSEMARY PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS



Rosemary Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls image

As far as holiday dinner rolls go, these are pretty lean. You can increase the amount of melted butter and toss in a egg or two, but since these are generally going to be eaten with fairly rich food, I prefer a lighter approach.

Time 2h55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon milk
coarse sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Set aside in a warm place until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine 1 cup milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes; remove pan from heat.
  • Combine 2 cups flour, yeast mixture, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; mix on low until no dry spots remain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue adding flour until a firm dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead on medium until elastic and soft but still tacky, about 6 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and coat with olive oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and shape into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 36 equally-sized pieces. Form each piece into a ball, pinching the seams on the underside, creating a smooth, round top.
  • Lightly beat egg with 1 teaspoon milk in a small bowl.
  • Transfer dough balls to the prepared baking sheet in 3 rows of 12, placing them close together but not touching. Brush tops lightly with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a thin sheet. This will help the dough to rise evenly and create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter before adding the honey mixture. This will help the honey to soak into the dough and create a delicious, caramelized crust.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. This will ensure that the bread is cooked evenly and has a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before pulling it apart. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
  • Serve the bread warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Honey pull-apart bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its soft and fluffy texture, caramelized crust, and sweet honey filling, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
