Ingredient description
- sour cream: Adds richness and moisture while imparting that signature sour cream flavor in the best sour cream yeast roll recipes.
- Honey: A touch of natural sweetness enhances flavor and helps feed active dry yeast.
- Instant Yeast: Make your rolls fluffy and light, ensuring a soft texture comparable to Japanese milk bread.
- Bisquick Baking Mix: Combine the dry ingredients you need (flour, baking powder, and fat) into a convenient mixture.
- Unsalted butter: Brush on for a perfect golden brown finish and buttery aroma.
- Garlic powder: Infuses the rolls with a gentle salty flavor that complements the rich texture of the dough.
Sour Cream Dinner Rolls
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the sour cream for about 1 minute, or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 110°F to 115°F. Add honey and instant yeast and mix well.
- Add Bisquick to sour cream mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms, adding more Bisquick if needed. Stretch and fold the dough in the bowl a few times or place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Form each piece into a ball and place in prepared pan. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F. Uncover the rolls and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, stir the garlic powder into the melted butter. Brush onto warm rolls immediately after baking. Serve hot.
