Ingredients
  

Homemade Rosemary Butter

  • 1 bunch fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375-degrees
  • In a large mixing bowl or a Kitchen Aid mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt in and stir until blended.
  • Combine milk, water, and butter in a small pan. Using a candy thermometer, heat the milk, water, and butter in the pan to 120 to 130 degrees. Add it to the flour mixture.
  • In an electric mixing bowl, beat the dough for buttery buns for 2 minutes at medium speed, making sure to scrap the bowl occasionally. Add ¼-cup four and beat the dough for 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in just enough of the remaining flour (1 to ¼-cups) so that the dough will form into a ball.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2-fingers. You should knead the dough for 6-8 minutes.
  • Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough and cut the dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls using your hands. Try to make all of the balls the same shape. Place the balls in a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. This will take about 30-minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, make the Rosemary butter. Melt one cup butter and the fresh bunch of Rosemary sprigs in a pan on the stove. Once the butter is melted, set the Rosemary butter aside.
  • Transfer dough to a baking pan or baking sheet. Bake the rolls in oven at 375-degrees for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from pan by running a knife around the edges and invert onto a wire rack.
  • Brush the rolls with the melted Rosemary butter and top with flaky sea-salt. Serve warm. You can also brush the rolls with egg wash before you pop the into the oven.

Notes

How To Store Delicious Butter Buns

Fresh, home bread rolls are always best stored at room temperature as storing them in the fridge can cause the rolls to dry out. This is made from scratch homemade bread so it's best to consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.

Do I need a Bread Machine for this recipe?

Absolutely not! The beauty of this easy bread recipe is it's made using your hands and perhaps your biceps 😉
Butter basting: Rolls can be brushed with butter before, during, or after baking. Butter basting keeps the rolls golden and fresh!
