Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Additional unsalted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy and activated.

Step 2

Add buttermilk, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Use a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to mix until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the stand mixer on low speed for 3 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a smooth round ball. Place the dough balls evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rest for 10-15 minutes in a warm spot. They should puff up slightly but don’t need to double in size.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the rolls generously with melted butter to ensure a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and sound hollow when lightly tapped.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and immediately brush the rolls with additional melted butter. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
