Buttery buttermilk rolls

Alright, we made all that wonderful butter, and got the buttermilk as a bonus, let's use it!! These dinner rolls are stop and say *wow* good. Great with pastas and bbq's, and really delicious as a sandwhich roll. It is a very simple recipe, but a bit time consuming. And every bite well worth it! Now, let's bake!!

Measure out your dry ingredients.

When you add your buttermilk, bring it to room temp or about 110d

Mix well and knead about 5 minutes.
Cover with cheese cloth and allow to rise until about doubled in size. Here is where its starts to take time. You need to knead, again. About 5 minutes, again. And let it rise until doubled in size....you guessed it, again.

Punch the dough down, and then roll it out to a rectangular slab, about 1 1/2 inch thick.

Now to cut out your rolls. I use a tumbler from our wedding set, cuz it gives me perfect 3" diameter circles.

Melt 1/2 cup butter. Brush the top of each roll with lots of butter.

Fold each roll in half, over the butter pinching the edges to seal.

When you have finished buttering, folding, and sealing all of your rolls, take a breath.

Lay them on a baking sheet, and walk away. That's right, they need to rise, again. This time they only need to rise about 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 and bake 20-22 minutes.

The moment they are out, brush all over the top with lots and lots of melted butter.

Serve warm with dinner, or store in air tight container or bag AFTER completely cooled, to use as sandwhich tools.

Either way, enjoy these delicious rolls. Keep your eyes peeled for the most amazing chicken salad, its fabulous on these rolls!

Your ingredients are;
1 cup milk or buttermilk
2 pkg. dry yeast 4-41/2 tsp
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 to 1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
