Dinner rolls

What you need:

• 3 cups bread flour (I used 1/2 white whole wheat flour)
• 1 cup buttermilk (1 Tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar in the bottom of the measuring cup, pour whole milk to line, let sit for 5-10 minutes - instant buttermilk substitute)
• 2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 egg yolk
  
• 2 Tablespoon oil
• cooking spray

What you do:

1. Place the bread flour, buttermilk, brown sugar, salt, yeast, oil and egg yolk into a bread machine.Make sure your liquid is warm so it will activate the yeast. Using the Dough setting, allow the machine to mix the ingredients until cycle is finished. [see note below for bread machine impairment]

2. Punch down the dough, and remove it from the machine. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts, form each part into 3 round, smooth balls and tuck all 3 in greased muffin cup. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until double, about 25 minutes. (Or I turn on my oven to 200 degrees F, preheat then turn off and place my rolls in there to rise.)

3. Once the rolls are risen, pull them out if they are in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Spray the tops of the hot rolls with cooking spray for a soft crust, cool the rolls slightly, and serve warm.

If you do not have a bread machine follow these instructions:

In a medium sized bowl, mix warm buttermilk with yeast and brown sugar. Let sit for about 15 minutes until frothy. Stir in oil and the egg yolk. Mix the salt with the flour and slowly add flour mixture until well combined. Turn out onto lightly floured counter top and knead for about 10 to 12 minutes - adding flour if dough is sticky (maybe another 1/4 cup if necessary). Place dough in a greased bowl (cooking spray works well for this) and turn the dough until it is greasy as well. Then cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, maybe an hour or more.

Go to step 2 above and follow the directions from there.
