Ingredientes

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope rapid rise yeast
  • 5 1/2 - 6 1/4 cups bread flour*
  • 2 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Ingredientes

Directions

  1. Stir yeast into 2 cups of the bread flour in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add sugar and salt and whisk until well blended.
  3. Place water, buttermilk, honey, and butter into a saucepan and heat, stirring constantly to 125°F to 130°F. Do not overheat.
  4. Slowly pour liquid into flour mixture and stir with a large wooden spoon until smooth.
  5. Add egg and blend again until smooth.
  6. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. When enough flour has been added a manageable dough will have formed.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding flour as needed not exceeding the 6 1/4 cup total measure of flour.
  8. Coat a large mixing bowl with cooking spray, add dough and turn to coat dough in oil. Cover and allow to rise in a draft-free location until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  9. Punch dough down and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Spray a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
  10. To form rolls, pinch off a piece of dough slightly larger than a golf ball. Roll into a smooth coil, about 8 to 10 inches in length. Fold coil in half and twist several times to produce a braided effect. Wrap twist around into a bun shape and gently place into sprayed muffin tin. Let rolls rise in a draft-free location until almost doubled in bulk, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. Beat egg white with a fork until frothy and brush over top of rolls. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately pop rolls out of tins and serve hot with a generous amount of butter. 
  12. To store: cool baked rolls thoroughly on racks then place in a zip top bag and freeze. Rolls can be frozen for 3 months. To reheat, place rolls on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F oven until hot, about 10 minutes.

NOTES: 

  1. To bake this dough into loaves, divide dough in half after the first rising and shape into two oval loaves. Place on opposite corners of a lightly greased large baking sheet and allow to rise until almost doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Glaze as directed for rolls and bake in the center of a 375° oven for about 40-45 minutes or until golden with a hollow sound when thumped. Slice with a long serrated knife.
