DUTCH OVEN DINNER ROLLS
(makes 12 rolls)
Dough:
3 Cups AP flour
1/4 Cups Buttermilk powder
2 Tab Non-Diastatic malt powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 Cup warm water
4 Tab soft unsalted butter
2 tsp instant yeast
Topping:
4 Tab unsalted butter, divided
Dough:
1. Combine all ingredients and mix by hand, mixer or bread machine to make a soft, smooth dough.
2. Transfer dough to lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 90 minutes).
Topping:
While dough is rising, set a 4-5 quart Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add 3 Tab of butter to the pot and heat until melted. Remove the pot from the burner and set aside.
Transfer the dough to a very lightly floured work surface. Divide into 12 pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Place rolls into the Dutch oven on top of the melted butter. Put the lid on and let the rolls rise until they tightly fill the pot (45-60 minutes).
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 400*.
Transfer the covered pot to the oven, and bake the rolls for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and bake the rolls an additional 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove the pot from the oven, set it on a rack to cool. Melt the remaining 1 Tab of butter and brush over the warm rolls in the pot.
Serve immediately. Or remove the warm rolls from the pot, place on a rack to cool and serve at room temperature.
