      Soft Slider Buns

      ha scritto per te

      Sliders get their name from United States Navy sailors who would say that their small size lets them “slide down” easily. Sour cream adds fat and moisture to the dough and helps create short gluten strands, which means a tender, rich bread. Try them topped with pulled pork. LEGGI TUTTO

      Our Best Breads for Your Easter Celebrations

      ha scritto per te

      Looking for the perfect roll or biscuit to complement your Easter meal this year? We’ve rounded up a list of our best breads to fill your table’s bread basket. From our classic Parker House rolls to crave-worthy cheddar-and-garlic drop angel biscuits, these bread recipes are the finishing touch you need for your Easter menu. 

      Legend has it that Parker House rolls were created by accident as a disgruntled baker slammed a tray of rolls in the oven. The jolted rolls emerged with their signature folded appearance, and the guests raved about them. It’s that pocket-like fold that creates a crispy golden exterior with a steaming hot and tender interior.

      A cross between a buttermilk biscuit and a Parker House roll, these Angel Biscuits will impress any and all at the dinner table. With its pillowy softness and golden buttery top, take one bite and you’ll never question its name again.

      Literally translated as “Easter Bread,” the Pane di Pasqua with its colorful eggs is Italy’s signature version of the holiday staple. Sometimes designed to resemble a doll or newborn, the intricately braided loaf symbolizes the rebirth of the spring season and Christ’s resurrection. This soft, slightly sweet bread with its iconic brightly colored eggs (we used blue) can be found well beyond the borders of Italy as a symbol of the season. 

      This recipe is a breezy wonder, with craggy peaked tops that offer a bit of crunch with the signature soft interior. The final brush with butter? Consider that its brush with greatness.

      In our sweet rendition of Parker House rolls, rectangular pieces of the enriched dough are brushed with orange-honey butter and rolled into spirals. This creates sweetly laminated layers and mesmerizing swirls. Once the hot rolls leave the oven, a final brush of honey-orange butter gives the bread a sweet, glossy sheen.

      Similar to those of a seafood chain favorite, these Cheddar-and-Garlic Drop Angel Biscuits are every bit as light and fluffy as they are flavorful. Seasoned with garlic powder and ground black pepper, mixed with a healthy helping of Cheddar cheese, and brushed with warm garlic butter, they’re sure to become a new wintertime favorite.

      If you’re on the hunt for pillowy-soft, tenderly sweet rolls, look no further than these Honey Butter Yeast Rolls. These rolls are simple and light yet incredibly flavorful, with the perfect amount of buttery richness and honeyed sweetness, just like the O’Charley’s rolls they were inspired by. Baked to a gorgeous golden brown, the rolls are then coated with a final brush of melted butter for a glistening finish. LEGGI TUTTO

      Honey-Orange Parker House Rolls

      In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1⅓ cups (167 grams) flour, sugar, 1 tablespoon (9 grams) salt, and yeast at medium-low speed until well combined.In a medium saucepan, heat milk, ⅔ cup (160 grams) water, and ¼ cup (56.5 grams) butter over medium heat until butter is melted and an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture; beat at medium-low speed for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add 1 egg (50 grams); beat at medium-high speed for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2⅔ cups (333 grams) flour, beating just until combined and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium-low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, 6 to 8 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl and dough hook; add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. (Dough should pass the windowpane test [see Note on page 85] but may still stick slightly to sides of bowl.) Turn out dough onto a very lightly floured surface, and gently shape into a ball.Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 35 to 50 minutes.Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 (17½×12½-inch) rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.In a medium saucepan, heat honey, orange zest, remaining ¼ cup (56.5 grams) butter, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and mixture is well combined. Remove from heat; stir in almond extract. Set aside.Punch down dough; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Divide dough in half, covering 1 portion with plastic wrap. On a lightly floured surface, roll uncovered half into a 10×9-inch rectangle. Turn dough so smoothest side is facing downward, and reroll into a 10×9-inch rectangle, if necessary. Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut dough into 10 (4½×2-inch) rectangles, trimming edges slightly, if necessary. Brush each rectangle with honey mixture, leaving a ¾-inch border on one short side. Starting with short side opposite border, roll up strips, jelly roll style, and pinch seam to seal. Place, seam side down, at least 1½ inches apart on a prepared pan. Repeat procedure with remaining dough. Reserve remaining honey mixture. Cover dough, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until nearly doubled in size and dough holds an indentation when poked, about 25 minutes.In a small bowl, whisk remaining 1 egg (50 grams). Brush top of dough with egg wash.Bake, one batch at a time, until light golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes, loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Brush and serve with any remaining honey mixture. LEGGI TUTTO
