Grammies Rolls

 

Ingredients:

2 T. yeast

¼ cup warm water

3 cups Buttermilk

3 cups flour
½ cup sugar, divided
3 eggs

2 tsp. salt
1 stick of unsalted real butter, melted
1 tsp. baking soda

5 cups flour + more if needed to make it not sticky

Directions:

In a small bowl dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in ¼ c. warm water and let proof a few minutes until it's bubbly. Add the buttermilk & 3 cups of flour. Mix until well combined and no lumps remain. Cover and let this stand at room temperature until double in size, about 2 hours.

Add the rest of the sugar, eggs, salt, melted butter, baking soda and 5 cups of flour. Knead on a floured service until well combined. put in a big bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and put it in the fridge the night before you are going to bake them. Every few hours you will need to get up and punch down the dough. Remember this is a labor of love... ;)

The next morning divide the dough into 4 separate sections. Take one section and roll it over a floured surface into a circle. Cut the dough with a knife or a pizza cutter just like a pizza. I try to get 12 triangles out of each section of dough. Then take the triangles and roll them from the widest side to the thinnest. Put on a greased cookie sheet, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise until double in size.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Brush with butter...... OH YEAH BABY!

I have made these with gramma so many times, yet there is just something about her touch that made them extra special. :) I miss her cooking and sleeping over at her house and making all of her yummy chocolates and rolls with her. Keeping her traditions alive is really important to me. She is the greatest. :) Grandma always let them rise overnight in the fridge like that...that was one of my favorite memories getting up with her to punch down the dough. :)
