Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/4 tsp | Active dry yeast |
| 1/4 cup | Sugar |
| 2 tbsp | Warm water |
| 3/4 cup | Buttermilk |
| 1/4 cup | Canola oil |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 2 1/4 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/4 tsp | Baking soda |
| 2 tbsp | Melted butter or margarine for coating |
Instructions
-
Activate Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry yeast and sugar. Set aside for a moment.
-
Warm the Buttermilk: Heat the buttermilk and water in the microwave until it’s warm to the touch (about 45 seconds to 1 minute). Be careful not to overheat; the mixture should feel warm but not hot.
-
Combine with Yeast: Pour the warmed buttermilk mixture slowly into the yeast and sugar. Stir gently until just combined and let sit for 5 minutes, allowing the yeast to bloom.
-
Form the Dough: Add the canola oil, salt, flour, and baking soda to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. During this time, the dough will start to become easier to handle.
-
Prepare the Pan: While the dough is resting, melt the butter or margarine in a dark 9-inch round cake pan. Set it aside for rolling the dough balls.
-
Shape the Rolls: Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray or rub them with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking. Scoop out a small portion of the dough (about 2-3 tablespoons), and roll it into a smooth ball. Place the dough ball into the prepared pan, rolling it gently in the melted butter. Repeat with the remaining dough, reapplying cooking spray or butter to your hands as needed. You should have about 12 rolls.
-
First Rise: Place the pan in a warm, draft-free area and let the rolls rise for 30-60 minutes. The longer they rise, the softer and fluffier the rolls will be.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Once the oven is hot, bake the rolls for 8-12 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the rolls warm, straight from the pan. With their rich, buttery flavor, you won’t even need extra butter—but it’s always an option!
These rolls are sure to be a hit at any meal, with their light, airy texture and slight sweetness from the buttermilk and sugar. Make sure to give them enough time to rise, as that’s the secret to their divine softness and irresistible flavor!
