Buttermilk Rolls

This is from Price Chopper Supermarkets and their list of original formulas. This supermarket is only in six or seven states so many have never heard of them. Their website has many interesting ideas.

Buttermilk Rolls

Yield: 1-1/2 dozen

Ingredients
1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1-1/2 cups warm buttermilk*
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4-1/2 cups flour (after adding first 2 cups, use as needed)

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water.

Beat in buttermilk, oil, sugar, salt, baking soda and 2 cups of flour until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk; about 1-1/2 hours.

Punch dough down. Divide into 18 pieces; roll into balls. Place on greased baking sheets or parchment paper placed on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled; about 30 minutes.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

*No buttermilk? Substitute 1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and enough milk to make 1-1/2 cups.
