Ingredients
- 1 cup warm buttermilk (105° to 110°)
- 2 (1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup butter, melted and divided
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 5 1/2 cups bread flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine buttermilk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes or until mixture is foamy.
- To yeast mixture, add ¹⁄³ cup melted butter, eggs, and salt, and beat at medium-low speed until combined. Gradually add 4 cups flour, beating until combined. Turn out dough onto a floured work surface, and knead in enough remaining flour until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Shape dough into a ball.
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm draft-free place (85°) for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 24 pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Place dough balls in prepared pan, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Brush dough with remaining ¼ cup melted butter, and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, or let cool completely and freeze in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags for up to 2 weeks.
