Butterhorn Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp active dry yeast
- ¼ cup water 110-115°F
- 2 cups milk room temperature or slightly warmer
- 12 tbsp butter melted
- ½ cup sugar divided
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tsp salt
- 6½ cups wheat flour see choices in Tips, below
Instructions
- In your stand mixer bowl, dissolve 1 tbsp sugar in warm water. Add yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the milk, butter, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Beat on medium speed until smooth.
- Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each into a 12-in. circle; cut each into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide ends. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets, point side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately brush with additional melted butter.
- Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
- Delicious warm or room temperature.
Tips for butterhorn rolls recipe:
- These can be made with a hand mixer if you don’t have a stand mixer. Your results will be similar.
- All ingredients should be at room temperature, except that the yeast water needs to be 110-115°F. Using cold ingredients will affect the end result.
- Our recipe calls for wheat flour. We use white wheat for these rolls. However, red wheat flour will also work. And, if you prefer use half wheat and half all-purpose flour. Of course, using only all-purpose flour will produce a nice, light roll but lacks the extra fiber and nutrients of whole wheat.
- These may also be baked the same day they are mixed. To do this, chill the dough for at least 2 hours. Then follow remaining instructions.
VEGAN OPTION:
- Simply replace the milk with plant-based milk. We find that soy or oat milk makes good alternatives. In fact, some non-vegans find them more flavorful.
- Also, replace the butter with plant-based butter or coconut oil. Either will produce delicious results.
