NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS



No Knead Crusty Rolls image

PLEASE SEE MY METRIC CHART ABOUT THE FLOUR. I recommend an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is hot enough (For the original overnight method, simply switch to COOL water and let the dough rest overnight on the counter top for 8 to 24 hours). ALWAYS AERATE (not sift) YOUR FLOUR BEFORE MEASURING.

Time 4h

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups (300-325 g /10 3/4 ounces) bread flour or all-purpose flour (AERATE FLOUR BEFORE MEASURING - See How)
1/4 teaspoon (1 g) instant or dry active yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups hot tap water (up to 130° F)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir in water. Mixture will be thick and sticky.
  • Cover with plastic wrap & let stand on counter top for 3 hours.
  • After 3 hours (mixture will be puffy and bubbly on top) place dough on a well-floured surface. Using a scraper fold over about 12 times, adding enough flour so it doesn't stick (about 2 Tbsp).
  • Using a scraper cut dough into 8 pieces. With floured hands, shape each into a ball by folding and tucking, like making a drawstring bag.
  • Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet (not wax paper) & cover with a dish towel. Let stand at room temperature for 35 minutes. They will puff up but will not double in size.
  • As soon as rolls are covered, start preheating oven to 450° F. Oven must be 450° so use an oven thermometer if possible.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. To re-crisp the next day, preheat the oven to 325° F and place the rolls directly on the oven rack for 10-12 minutes.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups distilled water (divided at room temperature)
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons instant yeast
3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (will need more for dough board)
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 egg white beaten with 1 Tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Put the kneader attachment onto the stand mixer.
  • In the stainless steel bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar and 3/4 cup distilled water, at room temperature.
  • In another bowl whisk together the 3 1/2 cups flour, salt, 1 Tablespoon sugar.
  • Add the dry ingredients on top of the yeast mixture.
  • Start the mixer on low speed and start to pour about 1/2 up of the remaining distilled water into the bowl as it is kneading. Save the remaining 1/4 cup water in case the dough is too dry.
  • Add the butter and the olive oil to the dough as the mixer is kneading.
  • If dough seems too dry, add water 1 Tablespoon at a time.
  • Total kneading time should take about 8 minutes. when finished kneading the dough, it should feel soft but semi-sticky and smooth. It should only slightly stick to you hands when removing from the bowl.
  • Do not add too much flour or the buns will be heavy.
  • Remove the dough to a very lightly floured surface; cover with a clean tea towel (not terrycloth) and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Shape into a ball (the dough will come together nicely after resting).
  • Place into a large greased deep container.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 60-90 minutes.
  • To check if the dough is ready to be punched down, very gently stick two fingers about 1/2-inch into the dough, the dough is ready when the finger marks remain.
  • Punch down dough and slice in half.
  • Slice each half into 6 even pieces. (12 total)
  • Shape each piece into a round ball.
  • Place balls spacing well apart onto a large oiled parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Cover and let rise 30-40 minutes.
  • Right before placing in oven, lightly brush with beaten egg white.
  • Bake at 375 F. for about 22 minutes or until light golden brown.

SOFT DINNER ROLLS RECIPE



Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe image

You only need 7 ingredients to make these dinner rolls. Flaky, soft, and buttery, these fresh dinner rolls outshine any main dish. See recipe notes for freezing and overnight instructions. You can also reference my Baking with Yeast Guide for answers to common yeast FAQs.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star instant yeast (1 standard packet)
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 large egg
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature and cut into 4 pieces
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour or bread flour*
optional topping: 2 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter mixed with 1 Tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and 1 Tablespoon of sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. *If you do not own a stand mixer, you can do this in a large mixing bowl and in the next step, mix the dough together with a large wooden spoon/rubber spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle. A hand mixer works, but the sticky dough repeatedly gets stuck in the beaters. Mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula is a better choice.*
  • Add the remaining sugar, egg, butter, salt, and 1 cup flour. With a dough hook or paddle attachment, mix/beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If the dough seems too wet to a point where kneading (next step) would be impossible, beat in more flour 1 Tablespoon at a time until you have a workable dough, similar to the photos and video above. Dough should be soft and a little sticky, but still manageable to knead with lightly floured hands.
  • Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 3 full minutes or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 3 full minutes. (See video tutorial above if you need a visual of kneading dough by hand.)
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (I always let it rise on the counter. Takes about 2 hours. For a tiny reduction in rise time, see my answer to Where Should Dough Rise? in my Baking with Yeast Guide.)
  • Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch square or round baking pans. You can also bake the rolls in a cast iron skillet or on a lined baking sheet.*
  • When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 14-16 equal pieces. (Just eyeball it- doesn't need to be perfect!) Shape each piece into a smooth ball. I do this entirely in my hands and you can watch in the video tutorial above. Arrange in prepared baking pan.
  • Cover shaped rolls with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
  • Adjust oven rack to a lower position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). (It's best to bake the rolls towards the bottom of the oven so the tops don't burn.)
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven, brush with optional honey butter topping, and allow rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Cover leftover rolls tightly and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

¾ cup milk, warm to the touch
¼ cup warm water, divided, plus 1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup sugar
4 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons kosher salt
3 large eggs, divided
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 yellow onions, thinly sliced through the root end
1 tablespoon kosher salt
½ cup water, divided
½ cup dry red wine, divided
2 large egg yolks
1 garlic, grated
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
½ cup grapeseed oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon juice
¾ lb sirloin, cubed and frozen for 30 minutes
¾ lb beef chuck, cubed and frozen for 30 minutes
¾ lb boneless short ribs, cubed and frozen for 30 minutes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
4 slices gruyère cheese
1 cup fresh arugula, for serving
french fry, for serving
1 meat grinder, frozen for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Make the brioche buns: In a liquid measuring cup, combine the milk, ¼ cup (60 ml) water, yeast, and sugar, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the flour and salt, and mix on low speed.
  • With the mixer running on medium-low speed, add the yeast mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Add 2 of the eggs and mix until the eggs are combined and the dough looks sticky, about 1 minute.
  • Add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until incorporated into the dough. Continue mixing on medium speed for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and comes together in a taught ball.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and covered with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into eight equal portions and roll into even balls. Flatten the balls into 3-inch discs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the buns.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the buns are deep golden brown. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
  • Make the caramelized onions: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions and stir until well coated. Cook the onions for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, and season with salt. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of water and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking for 30 minutes, until the onions are golden brown, then add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) water, scraping up any brown bits. Cook for 30 minutes more, then add ¼ cup (60 ml) of wine, scraping up any brown bits. Cook for another 15 minutes, then add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of wine. Cook for a final 15 minutes, until the onions are deeply caramelized.
  • Make the aioli: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, garlic, and mustard until smooth.
  • Add a drop of grapeseed oil and whisk to combine. Continue adding the grapeseed oil, drop by drop, until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. Once thickened, add the remaining grapeseed oil in a slow and steady stream, whisking until combined. The mixture should be thick and glossy.
  • Add the olive oil in a slow and steady stream while continuing to whisk.
  • Add the salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
  • Add the lemon juice in 1-teaspoon increments until the aioli is thick and pale yellow. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.
  • Grind the burger meat: Freeze the meat grinder parts before using. Attach the meat grinder to a stand mixture. Working in batches, add the frozen cubed meat and process through the grinder.
  • Divide the beef into 4 8 ounce (225 grams) portions and form into patties. Place on a cutting board. Use your thumb to press a divot into the center of each burger.
  • Heat the grapeseed oil in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the formed burger patties to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, without disturbing.
  • Use a spatula to flip the burgers over and place a slice of Gruyère on each one. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the burger is cooked through and cheese has melted.
  • Place the burgers on the brioche buns, along with the aioli, caramelized onions, and arugula. Serve with fries.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Fresh yeast should be foamy and creamy when dissolved in warm water.
  • If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Shape the dough into buns and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  • Let the buns rise again until they are puffy, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.

These 3-hour buns are a quick and easy recipe that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch, or as a side dish for dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your buns turn out perfect every time.
