Buttery Pull-Apart Rolls
These adorable puffs of love would be thrilled to find themselves on your Thanksgiving table. You can make the dough the night before and even place it in the muffin tins and then bake them right before dinner while your turkey rests. These rolls will come out tasting better than any other rolls you have ever tasted.
They are not difficult to make. If you can make round dinner rolls or shape crescent rolls, you can definitely make these.
Ingredients;
- 8 ounces warm whole milk (100 degrees F)
- 2 1/4 ounces sugar (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 15 ounces all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
Instructions;
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Place the milk, sugar, yeast, flour, egg yolks, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Combine on low speed for 1 minute. Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook and rest the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add 2 ounces of the butter and mix on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and you are able to gently pull the dough into a thin sheet that light will pass through about 8 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll and shape with your hands to form a large ball.
- Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and roll into a 12 by 12-inch square, about 1/2-inch thick. Melt the remaining 1/2 ounce butter and brush onto the top of the dough.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 (12 by 1-inch) strips. Stack the strips into 2 stacks of 6 strips each.
- Lay the stacks on their sides and cut each stack into 6 (2-inch) wide pieces. Lay each piece on its side into a prepared muffin tin cup.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the rolls reach an internal temperature of 200 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
- Remove the muffin tin to a cooling rack and cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
