Recipe Review Soft Buttermilk Rolls pg 43 For Food's Sake

Soft Buttermilk Rolls

Easy to do.
Dough very sticky, Tenina advises to use wet hands. I had a dipping bowl next to me, it worked very well.
They have been out of the oven a few minutes, couldnt resist... Never had really soft rolls before, BUT YUMMMMMM

The recipe says  16, I managed 9 at a push, 8 would be what I woud be aiming for.

Made these for dinner tonight to go with salad & pork steaks.
She says serve hot, will put them in the oven later to heat them up.

Will make again for sure

Snap Hally.  I had to make some rolls for my visitors this morning so decided to try this one as I had plenty of frozen buttermilk. They certainly live up to their name and are soft rolls.  I had to cook mine 35 minutes but they still stayed soft and I got 15 out of my batch of dough.  I enjoyed them even though I do prefer crisp tops on my rolls - a lot of people prefer them soft though so this recipe is perfect for that. Forgot to take a photo so this is of some of the frozen rolls.

Mine took 15 mins to cook in my oven, mine oven must be superfast,LOL

Yes they are lovely.

Yours look great, well done for getting 15, dont know where I go wrong to always make less than everyone else.  Its not because they have been eaten, I always confess.

Hally, I divide the dough into 4 with my plastic pastry cutter then cut each quarter into 4. For dinner rolls this is the perfect size but 8 would be the right size for a lunch roll.

[Halex]

I divide into half, then half then half, 8 rolls. Yes i think we like lunch size ones

Not happy as I have not got my book yet to try this yummy recipe. I have lots of buttermilk in the freezer. Bwaaaaaaa!

You bet Judy.

Tomatoes  are so cheap now that I am filling up the freezer  I just emptied.

Can't wait for the new cookbook even though I swore off cookbooks!

If you like a soft bread roll,  then you can't go past these.  They are of course are half brother to Tang Zhong bread.  I made a few changes.  I ran out of buttermilk so made a mix of 1/2 yoghurt and 1/2 milk.  I also brushed with egg wash as I don't like white rolls.  It made 13 rolls for me and baked for 20 mins,  turning the tray around 1/2 way through.  5/5.  Thanks Tenina.
  These could be the answer to those who want fresh rolls quickly.  Make the Roux and have it on hand.  Heat it and add the other ingredients.

I made these today, but made 6 large rolls for lunch. I wanted to make those lovely flat hamburger rolls, so I sprayed my Silpat mat with oil and covered them with it on the tray to make them spread rather than rise.
I think I put too much sugar in and not enough salt as they tasted sweet. Texture wasn't as soft as I expected, either.

I'll try again, though as I liked the quick Tang Zong method.

I watched Tenina making these at the Cooking Class in Albany recently. She wrapped the dough tightly in the Thermo Mat and then popped a blob of the dough in a glass of room temperature water. When the dough floated to the top of the glass it was ready to shape.
She barely moved the dough. She shaped it gently as it came out of the TM, then wrapped it. When it was ready she cut the dough and rolled each piece very gently in a wet palm.

I made these last night and they were absolutely divine. I ended up with 14 dinner rolls and they were soft and delicious. I did add 1/2 tsp salt, whereas the recipe says a pinch. I brushed with milk and cooked on 200C. They were golden and gorgeous on top. My guests were immensely impressed!

I made this in my Thermo Chef. I did split the mix in two and mixed them separately as my machine had trouble mixing the dough. It seems to have trouble with really sticky dough. I had to stop the mixing a couple of times as the machine was overloaded. I did perservere, and the resulting rolls were light, fluffy and delicious. My DS thought they were too sweet, but everyone else liked them.
