YEAST PULL-APART ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat milk in a saucepan over low heat to 110 degrees (warm to the touch). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Immediately sprinkle with yeast, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add flour and salt; mix until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms, about 3 minutes. Add room-temperature butter and mix until dough is soft and slightly tacky again, about 3 minutes.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with oil. Transfer dough to bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Brush bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans with oil. Punch dough to deflate; turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a bench scraper or knife, divide dough into 4 equal portions, then divide each portion into 6 equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a ball, pinching sides down and pinching at bottom to make smooth. Arrange 8 dough balls evenly around outer edges of each pan, and 4 in middle. Cover with clean kitchen towels and let stand until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls until puffed and golden on top, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately brush with some melted butter. Let cool in pans at least 15 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature, brushed with more butter.

PULL-APART PARKER HOUSE ROLLS

Steps:

• For the flour paste: Add 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is a smooth pudding-like consistency, 30 to 45 seconds. Let cool.
• For the dough: Add the milk and egg to the flour paste and whisk together until smooth. Transfer the paste to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and add the flour and yeast. Mix on low speed until all the flour is moistened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest in the bowl for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, with the mixer running on medium-low speed, add the sugar and salt and mix for about 5 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a ball. Spray a mixing bowl with cooking spray, add the dough ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a work surface and press gently but firmly to release the air. Stretch the dough to form a 9-by-10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough lengthwise into 4 equal strips, then cut those strips into 3 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, stretch and press each one into an 8-by-2-inch inch strip. Roll each strip small end to small end in order to form a snug roll.
• Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter and arrange the rolls in the skillet, 10 around the outside and 2 in the middle. Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the rolls with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• When ready to serve, using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, place scoops of the garlic-herb or honey butter in the center of the bread and let your guests pull apart the bread from the skillet.

BUTTERY PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Place 5 Tbsp. butter in a medium bowl. Cook remaining 5 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling often, until butter foams, then turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in garlic; scrape butter mixture and all those toasty milk solids at the bottom of the pan into bowl with butter pieces. Reserve saucepan. Stir until all the butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until butter is room temperature and solidified, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk 1/4 cup milk, 3 Tbsp. flour, and 1/4 cup water in reserved saucepan until smooth, then set over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until it becomes a very stiff paste resembling mashed potatoes, about 2 minutes. Scrape into the bowl of a stand mixer; reserve saucepan.
• Gently heat remaining 1/2 cup milk in reserved saucepan over low (it should be warm to the touch but not steaming hot). Remove from heat and let sit 1 minute. Add yeast and whisk until dissolved. Let mixture sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush bottom and sides of a 13x9" baking dish with 2 Tbsp. garlic butter; set aside. Set aside another 2 Tbsp. garlic butter in a small bowl for brushing over baked rolls.
• Add yeast mixture, sugar, 1 egg, and remaining 2 1/4 cups flour to paste in mixer bowl. Using the dough hook, mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Add kosher salt, increase speed to medium, and continue mixing until dough forms a smooth single mass, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low again and add remaining garlic butter a tablespoonful at a time, waiting until incorporated before adding more. Once all of the garlic butter has been added, increase mixer speed back to medium and mix dough until very soft, smooth, and supple, another 8-10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl; form dough into a ball and place in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft-free spot until doubled in size, 45-60 minutes.
• Punch down dough and knead several times to deflate, then turn out onto a clean work surface. To form the rolls, divide dough into 15 equal pieces (about 1 1/2 oz. each). Working one at a time and keeping other pieces covered in plastic, fold edges of dough underneath, pinching bottom to seal. Turn 90° and fold and pinch again. Repeat process until you have created a smooth sphere with no seams except at the bottom.
• Place ball on work surface and rest the side of your hand next to it so your palm and fingers are cupped around it. Drag the ball toward you, using friction against the work surface to create tension and stretch the surface of the dough into a smooth, taut dome. This shaping method tightens the gluten over the surface so the rolls rise evenly upward and outward instead of slumping into amorphous blobs. Repeat with remaining balls of dough and place in prepared pan in a 5x3 grid, spacing evenly apart.
• Loosely cover pan with plastic wrap and let rolls rise in a warm draft-free spot until doubled in size and touching, 35-45 minutes (to test, poke one with an oiled finger; dough should spring back but leave a slight indentation).
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°F. Beat remaining egg in another small bowl until yolks and whites are incorporated and no streaks remain. Gently brush tops of rolls with egg, then sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake rolls until they are deep golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and brush warm rolls with reserved 2 Tbsp. garlic butter; let cool in pan 10 minutes.
• Slide an offset spatula around sides and underneath rolls to loosen, then invert onto rack and turn right side up. Let cool at least another 15 minutes before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be formed into rolls (do not let rise) 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Let rise before baking; this may take around 3 hours.

ROSEMARY PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Set aside in a warm place until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes; remove pan from heat.
• Combine 2 cups flour, yeast mixture, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; mix on low until no dry spots remain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue adding flour until a firm dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead on medium until elastic and soft but still tacky, about 6 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and coat with olive oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and shape into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 36 equally-sized pieces. Form each piece into a ball, pinching the seams on the underside, creating a smooth, round top.
• Lightly beat egg with 1 teaspoon milk in a small bowl.
• Transfer dough balls to the prepared baking sheet in 3 rows of 12, placing them close together but not touching. Brush tops lightly with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

"EVERYTHING" PULL-APART ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and 8 tablespoons butter. Heat until the butter is melted, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to 105-115 F. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Let stand to allow yeast to bloom, 10 minutes.Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Mix on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
• After the yeast has bloomed, add the milk mixture to the mixer. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute; then increase the speed to medium-low and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease a large bowl. Remove the dough from the mixer, shape it into a round, and place into greased bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. In the meantime, grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
• When the dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl onto a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Use a bench scraper to divide the dough in half. Gently roll each piece of dough into a log 12 inches long. Then cut each log into 6 equal pieces.
• Using the cupped palm of your hand, roll and shape each piece into a taut ball against the floured work surface; close any visible seams with your fingers. Transfer the dough balls to the greased baking pan and space them out evenly. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• When the rolls have finished rising, prepare the "Everything" Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flaky sea salt, onion flakes, garlic flakes, and sesame seeds.Brush the tops of the rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then sprinkle with the "Everything" Topping. (Tip: Sprinkling from a height will ensure even distribution.) Bake until the rolls are golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature.
