Buttermilk Rolls For International Day Of Prayer

International Day of Prayer is May 7th, today. International Day of Prayer is celebrated in the United States on the first Thursday of May every year. Want to learn more about IDOP? Check out this website. So, in honor of this holiday I am sharing a recipe for buttermilk rolls with you that I love, which is by Whole Foods Market. Even if you aren’t religious and don’t celebrate this holiday I do encourage you to try out these tasty rolls . As always, replace as many ingredients as possible with organic ingredients! Enjoy everyone!

Makes 12

Ingredients:

• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
• 1 egg

Method:
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour, salt and yeast until well combined; set aside. In a small pot, heat buttermilk until warm to the touch (about 115°F). (Be careful not to overheat the milk since it may cook the egg.) Remove pot from heat and whisk in honey, 3 tablespoons of the butter and egg. Pour buttermilk mixture into bowl with flour mixture and whisk until a thick batter is formed. Stir in remaining 1 3/4 cups flour until a soft dough is formed.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting dough with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking, until smooth and no longer sticky, 7 to 8 minutes.

For cloverleaf rolls, divide dough into 36 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange 3 balls of dough in each cup of a greased 12-muffin tin. For large pull apart rolls, divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a small ball. Arrange balls of dough snugly in a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Brush rolls with a bit of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then cover loosely and set aside in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush rolls with remaining butter and bake until deep golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot, spread with butter, if you like.
