Herb Dinner Rolls Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

20 25 45

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup warm buttermilk (110° to 115°)
4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, marjoram and thyme
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, basil, marjoram, thyme, baking soda, egg and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 75 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions. Divide each portion into six pieces; shape each piece into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Brush with remaining butter. Yield: 2 dozen.

Editor's Note: Warmed buttermilk will appear curdled.
