Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar or honey
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 4 cups all-purpouse flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter

Glaze

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  • Add yeast mixture, eggs, buttermilk and butter to bowl of stand mixer fitted with bread hook.
  • Mix at low speed.
  • Slowly add the flour and salt a little at a time. Knead until dough begins to pull away from the sides for the bowl.
  • Once dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, knead for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down risen dough.
  • Place on floured board and divide into 8 equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a rectangle.
  • Brush melted butter over one rectangle and lay another rectangle on top. Roll the two rectangle into a cylinder.
  • Repeat with remaining balls of dough. You should have four cylinders when done.
  • Cut off the ends of the cylinder. Cut middle of the dough into four triangles. Make a diagonal cut in the center, and then make a diagonal cut in the other direction to create triangles.
  • Put one end of a cylinder, cut side down in the center of a greased cookie sheet. Arrange the remaining ends around the center.
  • Pick up the cylinders of dough as if they are still in one pieces and arrange around the center bouquet.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled rise in warm place for about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Beat egg yolk and milk. Brush over dough.
  • You may sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top at this point if you wish.
  • Bake bread in a preheated 350° oven for 30 -40 minutes.
  • If bread is not browned as you would like, set the oven to broil with bread on middle rack for 3-5 minutes. Watch closely! It can get too brown quickly.
  • Brush bread with melted butter as soon as it is done, and let cool for 10 minutes before eating.
  • So fun to break off a uniquely shaped roll!
