Why Buttermilk?
Let’s talk about the buttermilk in these dinner rolls because the buttermilk plays a very important role here. First of all, the buttermilk will add complexity and depth to your dinner rolls. It’s what makes these dinner rolls super soft and light and what keeps them from browning too quickly so that you end up with rolls that are baked perfectly on the inside yet golden on the outside.
Ingredients
Buttermilk – Our star ingredient! Buttermilk is critical for soft, tender, buttery rolls. Honey – We need some sweetness in our rolls today and honey works perfectly. Maple syrup can be used as a substitute if that’s what you have on hand. Butter – Unsalted as we want to control our salt and melted before adding. Eggs – The binding agent of our roll recipe and for our final egg wash. Flour – All purpose works perfectly fine. If you’d like to make these rolls gluten free be sure to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan gum alongside your gluten free flour. Yeast – Instant yeast is needed for this recipe, instant yeast doesn’t require the need to activate and set aside. Salt – Salt is so important for any baked goods! Sesame seeds – Sprinkled over top and totally optional. Poppy seeds or other seeds such as sunflower seeds can also be used instead.
