Servings: persons

1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup buttermilk (warmed to not more than 110 degrees)
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup instant potato flakes
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
flour, to dust kneading surface
vegetable oil, to coat dough & grease pan
melted butter, to brush tops

1
Dissolve yeast in water with 1 T sugar. Let stand until foamy to ensure yeast viability.
2
In large bowl combine yeast with all remaining ingredients. Dough will be sticky. Turn out on floured surface and knead lightly for 3 minutes.
3
Shape into ball and oil surface lightly. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
4
Gently deflate and divide into 9 portions. Shape into tight balls and arrange in greased 8X8 inch cake pan. Rolls will be slightly touching. Brush tops with melted butter.
5
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise again until doubled in size, about 30 - 45 minutes. Rolls should be above top of pan and all sides touching fully.
6
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove and brush with melted butter again. Allow to cool slightly, then turn out of pan, pull apart and serve. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in airtight container.
7
NOTE: The purpose of warming the buttermilk is to decrease the time needed for the first rise. It may curdle slightly from being heated, that's OK.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
