These rolls are best served warm but can be made one day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal, plus more for dusting
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/2 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine milk with butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts. Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk yeast and sugar into 1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees). Let stand until foamy, then stir in cornmeal mixture. Lightly beat 2 eggs; stir into yeast-and-cornmeal mixture. Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour until dough is tacky but not sticky. (If dough is sticky, stir in more flour.) Transfer to a work surface dusted with flour. Knead with floured hands, dusting more flour onto hands and surface as needed, until dough is elastic and springs back when pressed with a finger, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a large bowl brushed with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. The dough can be made up to this point and left torise up to 12 hours in the refrigerator; remove from refrigerator 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Punch down dough. Form into a ball and place on a clean, undusted work surface. Quarter dough, then divide each quarter into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and space evenly on two rimmed baking sheets that are generously dusted with cornmeal (8 per sheet). Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Beat remaining egg. Brush tops of rolls with egg, then slash a 1/4-inch-deep X in tops. Lightly dust with cornmeal and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until rolls are puffed, golden, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottoms, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a basket lined with a clean towel and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cornmeal and active dry yeast are essential for making light and fluffy rolls.
  • Proof the yeast: This step is crucial to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce enough carbon dioxide to make the rolls rise properly.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This allows the yeast to work its magic and double the size of the dough.
  • Shape the rolls gently: Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the rolls tough.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: This creates a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These yeasted cornmeal rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or with a variety of toppings, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
