Run The Option
Stir together a lightly beaten egg & a dribble of water. Brush the mixture over the dough portions after the second rise & sprinkle with seeds, if desired, for a lovely variation.
1 cup warm water
1 {1/4-oz} envelope highly active dry yeast
2 Tbsp sugar
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 Tbsp softened butter
3 Tbsp whole buttermilk
1 egg
2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 egg yolk
Stir together the water, the yeast & the sugar. Let stand 5 minutes or until foamy. Whisk together the flour & the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the butter, the buttermilk, the egg & the yeast mixture. Mix on Low speed 1 minute with a dough hook. The dough will come together in a ball around the hook. Increase the speed to Medium & mix 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball & place in a lightly greased bowl. Spray the dough surface with cooking spray & cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a draft-free spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down & divide it into 64 {1/2-oz) pieces. Shape into balls & place on parchment-lined half sheet pans. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a draft free spot for about 20 minutes or until an increase by a half their original size has been achieved.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together the cream & the egg yolk; brush over the tops. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pan after 9 minutes. Cool completely.
The Extra Point
Hold on to this recipe for holiday entertaining. Fill the rolls with a variety of grilled or roasted meats from pork to beef tenderloin.

How To Make Homemade Rolls
There is absolutely no need to be afraid of making your own yeast-risen dough at home. The original recipe, Brioche Rolls, showcases poppy seeds over the top & they are shaped into 1-ounce portions for heartier appetites. Look to this version for more in-depth instruction & step by step photos on how to prepare a traditional yeast risen dough from scratch. In the meantime, follow these three valuable baking tips to yield a successful batch of rolls every time.
The Technique
Keep the water temperature on task. If it’s too warm you’ll kill the yeast. Plus as you blend the ingredients, the dough will naturally become warmer. Next, keep the dough covered at each stage with plastic wrap. It will prevent a film from forming over the dough surface. Finally, warm-from-the-oven bread is one of the most glorious indulgences around however, as tempting as it may be to slice into the rolls right away, allow them to cool completely so as not to tear the interior crumb which could result in a gummy texture.
