Ingredients 0/8

3 cups bread flour 1 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 1 egg yolk 2 tablespoons canola oil stick butter

What Makes This Recipe Special

These rolls are soft, fluffy, and have a beautiful golden crust. They come out perfectly every time thanks to the bread machine, making them an easy and reliable choice for any meal.

Step 1

Ad the bread flour, buttermilk, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and egg yolk to your bread machine. Use the Dough setting to mix everything until it’s just combined and moist. When the machine pauses, pour in the oil, then let it finish the rest of the dough cycle.

Step 2

While the dough is mixing, grease a muffin tin or a baking sheet and set it aside. Once the dough is ready, take it out and give it a good punch down. Divide it into 12 equal pieces, shape each into a smooth, round roll, and place them in the muffin cups or on the baking sheet, making sure they have a little space between them.

Step 3

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise somewhere warm until they’ve doubled in size, about 25 minutes. While they’re rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

When the rolls have puffed up, pop them in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top. As soon as they come out, rub the tops with a stick of butter to keep the crust soft. Let them cool just a bit, then enjoy them warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

Yes, you can use regular milk, but add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to mimic the acidity of buttermilk.

What type of yeast works best for this recipe?

Active dry yeast is recommended, but instant yeast can also be used with slight adjustments to the rising time.

Can I make these rolls without a bread machine?

Yes, you can mix and knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer, then follow the same rising and baking steps.

How do I know when the rolls have doubled in size?

They should look noticeably puffed up and roughly twice as large as when you shaped them.

Can I freeze the dough or baked rolls?

You can freeze shaped dough before the second rise or freeze baked rolls after cooling; thaw before baking or reheating.

What if my rolls come out too dense?

Make sure the yeast is fresh, the dough is kneaded well, and the rolls have enough time to rise properly.

Why do I rub butter on the rolls after baking?

Butter keeps the crust soft and adds a rich flavor to the tops of the rolls.

Can I substitute canola oil with another oil?

Yes, vegetable or olive oil can be used as a substitute without affecting the recipe much.
