Red Star® Quick Buttermilk Rolls

Yield

24 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
  • 1 (0.25 oz.) pkg. or 2-1/4 tsp. Platinum Yeast from Red Star®
  • 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. table salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1-1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shortening or butter

Directions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking soda; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat buttermilk, water, and shortening/butter until warm (120°F to 130°F; shortening/butter does not need to melt.) Add to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  2. Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes. (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)
  3. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after poking dough with finger down to second knuckle, about 30 minutes.
  4. Punch down dough. Divide into 4 equal parts. Divide each fourth into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place in greased 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until almost doubled, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan and place on wire rack to cool.
