Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
1 T active dry yeast
2 T honey
2 tsp coarse salt
2 T butter
¼ tsp baking soda
4 - 4 ½ cups all purpose, unbleached flour
Melted butter

Instructions:

Heat the buttermilk to lukewarm and pour ⅓ cup of it into a bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir it with a small whisk dipped in honey. Let stand about ten minutes until you see the yeast swelling and bubbling.

NOTE: This is a recipe developed before microwaves were in every kitchen. To keep from killing your yeast with too-hot buttermilk, just put your two cups of buttermilk in the microwave for one minute. This should get it to a lukewarm temperature. And instead of the step below, melt your 2 T butter in the microwave for 25 seconds and add it to the warm buttermilk. This way you won't kill your yeast. My daughter followed the recipe as I originally typed it for you all and killed her yeast by having the buttermilk too hot.

Melt the honey, salt and butter in the rest of the buttermilk. Once it is lukewarm and the yeast is ready, pour the honey/salt/butter mix and the yeast together into a mixing bowl. At this point add the baking soda.

Add the flour 1 cup at a time, beating well with each addition. As the dough gets stiffer, change to adding ½ cup at a time. At this point change to the dough hook and allow the mixer to help you mix the bread or pour dough onto floured counter and knead it there. Knead until dough is smooth and not sticky.

Roll out the dough to ½” thickness and cut with a 2” cookie cutter. Grease three round cake pans and put about seven rolls in each pan. For best flavor, melt butter in a small saucepan and dip each roll into the melted butter, coating it on all sides, before putting in the cake pan. Barring that, you can also put all of the rolls in the three cake pans and then brush their tops with melted butter.

Cover with damp towel and allow to rise for one hour.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes - do not overbake. Eat warm…..yum.
