CLOVERLEAF ROLLS



Cloverleaf Rolls image

A basket of cloverleaf rolls might look humble sitting next to a burnished bird or a crown roast, but don't underestimate its importance at a meal. Buttery and salt-kissed, the little pillows are essential from beginning to end. Start dinner with a warm roll, maybe two, split and swiped with butter. End it with another one or two used to mop up the delicious dregs of gravy. Throw in a few more in the middle because they are just too good not to. Let's hope it is a big basket. Thank goodness the recipe doubles easily. They're at their very best served warm.

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1/4-ounce/2 1/4 teaspoons/7 grams) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk, warmed to 105 to 110 degrees
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar into the milk. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine the remaining sugar, flour and salt. With the mixer on low, add the yeast mixture and the egg and knead until the dry ingredients have been incorporated (you may have to help it along at first with a spatula) and the dough is smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the melted butter (the dough will slosh around in the butter for a few minutes, but will eventually absorb it all) and continue to knead the dough until smooth, increasing the speed to medium, another 5 to 10 minutes. The dough will be shiny and elastic; if it's at all sticky, scrape down the sides of the bowl and gather the dough into a neat ball (no need to add extra flour). Cover the bowl with plastic and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Gently tip the dough out onto a work surface. You shouldn't need flour at this point. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Work with one piece at a time and keep the other pieces covered. Divide each piece into 3 equal pieces, roll each piece into a tight ball and place into one cup. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray lightly with plastic wrap and set aside to double again, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The dough should look puffy and spring back slowly when pressed gently.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Remove the plastic wrap and without deflating the dough, gently brush the rolls with butter. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect cloverleaf shape, ensure each dough piece is cut into three equal strips. Roll each strip tightly to create a uniform coil, then pinch the ends together to form a circle.
  • For a golden brown finish, brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will also help create a crispy exterior.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a simple substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To check if the rolls are done baking, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the rolls are ready.
  • For an extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the rolls before baking.
