• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 16 Rolls

ingredients

• 3 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1⁄4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup water
• 1⁄3 cup buttermilk, room temperature
• 1⁄3 cup softened butter
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter, for tops (optional)

directions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Heat the water and butter in a microwave safe glass. Whisk together the buttermilk and eggs in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the hot water/butter. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. When your dough is ready, split it in two balls and lay it on a floured surface. Roll each half out into a large circle. Use a pizza cutter to make triangles.
4. Roll them up and put them on a baking sheet. Let rise in a draft free place for about 25 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
6. Bake at 10 to 15 minutes.  Use your butter to rub across the top of each roll for an extra buttery taste!
