NO-KNEAD DINNER ROLLS

These no-knead rolls couldn't be easier: Just mix together a few ingredients, and let them rise. The dough rises slowly for a long time, because the dough needs to gain strength as it rises, which contributes to its structure after baking. The rolls that emerge from the oven have a golden crust that's lightly crisp, and a soft interior that is best served fresh.

Time 45m

Yield 9 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups/450 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk, plus 1 to 3 tablespoons, if needed
7 tablespoons/100 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, yeast and salt until combined. In a small saucepan, heat 2/3 cup/160 mililiters milk over medium-low until it's just warm to the touch (about 95 degrees), about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons butter and heat until melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat. If it is much warmer than 95 degrees, let cool briefly before continuing.
  • In a small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs just until combined. Gradually whisk the eggs into the milk mixture, then pour into the bowl with the flour. Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, stir the dough until it's uniformly combined. If it seems dry or isn't coming together, stir in more milk 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 3 tablespoons) to bring it together. (This milk does not need to be heated.) The dough should be sticky.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with butter. Divide the dough into 9 even pieces (about 85 grams each), and round each into a tight ball. Place the rolls evenly spaced into the prepared pan. (They will not be touching. There will be about 1/4 to 1/2-inch between each roll.)
  • Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap, and let rolls rise until they nearly double in size, about 35 to 45 minutes: They will now touch inside the pan and look puffy and risen. Toward the end of the rise time, heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small pot over medium heat or in a small dish in a microwave. Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls, and brush the tops of the rolls generously with about half the butter. Bake until the rolls are golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes. Halfway through baking, brush the surface of the rolls with more butter and rotate the pan.
  • When the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the remaining butter. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving warm.

EASY NO-YEAST CINNAMON ROLLS



Easy No-Yeast Cinnamon Rolls image

Cinnamon rolls are always a good idea, but traditional yeast-risen versions aren't exactly a treat you can make on a whim. This recipe, however, comes together in under an hour. Adapted from "At Home With Magnolia: Classic American Recipes From the Owner of Magnolia Bakery" by Allysa Torey, this formula uses baking powder and baking soda to make the dough rise quickly. Toasted pecans add crunch to the cinnamon-sugar filling, and a tangy cream cheese glaze blankets the top of the rolls. The end result is tender, chewy and cakey rolls that taste best when unspooled bit by bit and eaten with your fingers.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, very soft, plus more for greasing the pan
1/2 packed cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup/90 grams chopped pecans, toasted (see Tip)
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup/54 grams canola oil
3/4 cup/180 grams buttermilk
4 ounces/113 grams cream cheese, very soft
1 cup/102 grams confectioners' sugar, sifted if lumpy
1 teaspoon whole milk or heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
  • Make the rolls: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the oil and, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix until incorporated. (It might be a little lumpy. That's OK!) Stir in the buttermilk until just blended. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1 minute. Roll out the dough into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.
  • Gently spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ΒΌ-inch border all around. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder. Rotate the roll so that the seam is against the work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into eight equal slices. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly. (At this point, you can wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or 2, or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before proceeding.)
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
  • While the rolls bake, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before coating with the glaze. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure your yeast is active and fresh.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for the best results.
  • Don't over-knead the dough, as this will make the cinnamon rolls tough.
  • Use plenty of cinnamon sugar filling for a delicious and flavorful roll.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:

These no-knead cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these delicious rolls that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these no-knead cinnamon rolls a try!
