Buttery Pull Apart Dinner Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• For the flour paste: Add 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is a smooth pudding-like consistency, 30 to 45 seconds. Let cool.
• For the dough: Add the milk and egg to the flour paste and whisk together until smooth. Transfer the paste to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and add the flour and yeast. Mix on low speed until all the flour is moistened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest in the bowl for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, with the mixer running on medium-low speed, add the sugar and salt and mix for about 5 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a ball. Spray a mixing bowl with cooking spray, add the dough ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a work surface and press gently but firmly to release the air. Stretch the dough to form a 9-by-10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough lengthwise into 4 equal strips, then cut those strips into 3 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, stretch and press each one into an 8-by-2-inch inch strip. Roll each strip small end to small end in order to form a snug roll.
• Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter and arrange the rolls in the skillet, 10 around the outside and 2 in the middle. Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the rolls with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• When ready to serve, using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, place scoops of the garlic-herb or honey butter in the center of the bread and let your guests pull apart the bread from the skillet.

Steps:

• Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray. Place frozen rolls in the pan. Sprinkle with pudding mix.
• Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour over the rolls. Cover pan with a tea towel and let rise overnight, about 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place fluted tube pan on a baking sheet as mixture will boil over in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the buns are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat milk in a saucepan over low heat to 110 degrees (warm to the touch). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Immediately sprinkle with yeast, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add flour and salt; mix until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms, about 3 minutes. Add room-temperature butter and mix until dough is soft and slightly tacky again, about 3 minutes.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with oil. Transfer dough to bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Brush bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans with oil. Punch dough to deflate; turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a bench scraper or knife, divide dough into 4 equal portions, then divide each portion into 6 equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a ball, pinching sides down and pinching at bottom to make smooth. Arrange 8 dough balls evenly around outer edges of each pan, and 4 in middle. Cover with clean kitchen towels and let stand until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls until puffed and golden on top, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately brush with some melted butter. Let cool in pans at least 15 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature, brushed with more butter.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine cream, milk, and 6 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the liquid reads 125F on thermometer, Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast sugar and salt. Whisk until well blended.
• When milk mixture reads 120F pour it over flour mixture, along with egg yolks. Mix with your hands. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead until no longer sticky, about 10 min.
• Shape into ball, place in lightly greased bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled (45-55 min).
• Lightly grease 9X13 baking dish. Turn dough out onto clean work surface and press lightly to deflate. Divide dough into 16 pieces. Roll each into a ball in small, tight circles with seam at bottom.
• Put ball in baking dish, seam side down. Repeat for rest. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and let rise until they are 1 1/2 times original size and have risen 3/4 of the way up the baking dish.
• Bake until puffed and brown, about 20-25 min at 375°F Brush tops with melted butter.
