Ingredients
- 24 Rolls
(you can cut his recipe in half, but you’ll regret it 😉) - 2 C Warm Water
- 1 pkg active dry yeast
- 1/2 T Sugar
- 1/4 C melted butter
- 1 T Smoked Salt
- 1/4 C Sugar
- 1/2 C Evaporated Milk
- 6+ C Bread Flour
- Non-stick cooking spray
*For Butter topping* - 1/2 Cup Butter
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8–10 large Sage leaves, diced
- Flake salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a stand mixer, combine the melted butter, smoked salt, sugar, and evaporated milk. When yeast mixture is ready add it to the stand mixer as well. Add 3 cups of flour and mix with the bread hook attachment on low. Slowly add the remaining 3 cups, 1/2 cup at a time, until incorporated and the dough no longer sticks to bowl or fingers when touched.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and spray both the bowl and dough with non-stock spray. Return to bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let double in size by a sunny window (about 1.5 hours).
- After dough has risen, punch down and knead it on a floured surface 2-3 minutes. Cut dough in half, and half again until you have 24 equal-ish sized dough pieces. Roll each into golf sized balls and place into greased cast iron pans and cover loosely in plastic wrap.
- Allow to rise about 1 hour. Preheat smoker to (375F) place the rolls in the center (of the center rack if you have a timberline) and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden.
- While the rolls cook, combine butter, garlic, and sage in a pan over medium-low heat for about 7-10 minutes until the butter is brown, garlic is golden, and sage is is very crisp.
- Spoon the brown butter/sage mix over the top of each roll until gone. Sprinkle with flake salt. Serve warm.
