Buttermilk Pan Rolls

                                                                                                      

This is my first attempt at making yeast rolls. I made them for lunch and they were very good, all gone by dinner time.

1 c buttermilk
1/4 c water
1/4 c olive oil
3 c bread flour
1t salt
2 T sugar
1/2 t baking soda
2 and 1/4 t instant yeast

With a hand held mixer, take 1 c flour, the sugar , the salt, the baking soda and the yeast and mix. Combine the water , oil and the buttermilk and heat to 120 -130 degrees. Combine the dry mixture and the liquids mixture on low speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 2 minutes. Press dough evenly into a greased 9 inch square pan. Cut rolls but not all the way through, into 12 same size pieces. Cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place free from drafts until indentation remains after touching. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
