Soft, fluffy buttermilk rolls perfect for any meal or snack, with a golden crust and tender interior.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (at room temperature)
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted, plus more for brushing)
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for greasing)

Instructions 

  • Activate yeast by combining warm buttermilk with 1 tbsp sugar, then add yeast and let sit until foamy.
  • Mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt; add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix into a sticky dough.
  • Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes by hand. Let rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours.
  • Punch down dough, divide into 12–15 pieces, shape into balls, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise for 30–45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 18–22 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

Notes

For softer rolls, cover with a damp towel during the second rise.
