Herbed Batter Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter and brush two 12-cup muffin tins with it. Put the frozen rolls in the cups of the muffin tins. Cover and allow to rise for several hours at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.
• Melt the remaining 3 1/2 sticks butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Mix in the rosemary, thyme and lemon zest and heat until warmed through. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the butter mixture.
• Bake the rolls according to the package directions (usually 400 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes), until the rolls are a deep golden brown on top. Dab with more of the butter mixture and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until blended. Add egg; beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on high for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes., Stir dough down. Fill 12 greased muffin cups half full. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 15 minutes., Bake at 350° until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pan to a wire rack. Brush tops with melted butter. Freeze option: Freeze cooled rolls in airtight containers. To use, microwave each roll on high until warmed, 30-45 seconds.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, 3 cups flour and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down; place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 14x6-in. rectangle. Combine softened butter and Italian seasoning; spread over dough., Score each rectangle widthwise at 2-in. intervals. Using marks as a guide, fold dough accordion-style back and forth along score lines. Cut folded dough into six 1-in. pieces. Place pieces cut side down in greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Preheat oven to 375°. Uncover pans and let dough stand another 10 minutes before baking. Brush with egg white. Bake until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks.

Steps:

• Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. With a fork, stir in the butter, sugar, salt and egg. With the mixer on low, add the flour and then the herbs. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Lightly butter a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, then cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your house.
• Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Transfer the dough to a work surface and cut into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball. Transfer the dough balls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly (rolls will touch once they have risen). Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Finish the rolls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Very gently brush the rolls with some melted butter and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with more melted butter and serve warm.
