Recipe for herb and lavender rolls in our easy yeast bread recipes collection.
Recipe ingredients
6 cups bread flour

2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon chopped lavender flowers, optional
How to make herb and lavender rolls
In a large bowl or food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine flour, yeast, and salt. In a small bowl, stir buttermilk and soda together.
Use a wooden spoon to stir the liquid into the flour mixture or, with the processor running, gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients.
Process until a soft, supple dough forms or, on a lightly floured surface, knead dough by hand until smooth, about 15 minutes.
Form dough into a ball. Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in it, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about an hour.
Lightly spray two 12-cup muffin tins with vegetable-oil cooking spray and set aside.
Punch the dough down and place on a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half and pat the dough into two 6 x 6-inch squares, cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. In a small bowl, mix the herbes de Provence and the lavender flowers, if using.
With a lightly floured rolling pin, shape 1 square of dough into a 12 x 24 inch rectangle.
Using a pastry brush, coat the dough with half of the melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 of the herb mixture.
Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough along the 24 inch length into six 12-inch-long, 2-inch-wide strips.
Stack the 6 strips, butter side up and cut each into twelve 2 inch square stacks.
Pinch one side each of the 12 dough stacks together and place, pinched end first, into a muffin tin.
Repeat, using remaining square of dough. Lightly cover with towel and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place rolls on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove immediately from the muffin tin and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
