Servings: 36 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk warmed to 100°F to 110°F
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 package) instant yeast
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Mix and knead the dough: Add the milk, butter, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix until the butter and sugar are dissolved, 4-6 minutes. Then, add the beaten eggs, flour, and instant yeast. Using the dough hook, knead the dough on medium speed until it is smooth and beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl, 6-8 minutes. The dough will be soft and slightly tacky.1 cup whole milk, 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 3 large eggs, 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 package) instant yeast
- Let the dough rise: Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in a large, oiled bowl to rise. Cover and put the bowl in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
- Line 3 sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Shape the butterhorns: Once risen, punch down the dough and cut it into thirds. Shape each third into a ball and knead out any air bubbles. Roll out each dough ball to a 15-inch circle (about ¼-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Brush with melted butter, then cut into 12 triangles, as one would for a pizza. Start by cutting in quarters, then each quarter into three triangles. Take one triangle, stretch the end slightly, then roll up tightly. Pinch the ends to create a seal, then place the pinched end down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange 12 butterhorns per sheet pan. Let the prepared butterhorns rise until they are about doubled in size, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 8-15 minutes, switching racks and watching carefully to ensure the tops and bottoms are lightly golden but not overbaked. Remove from the oven and brush with the melted salted butter. Let cool slightly and serve warm.6 tablespoons salted butter
