These Grandma’s Sticky Rolls are the ultimate comfort food, offering a tender, pillowy crumb infused with the warm, aromatic notes of cardamom. The dough comes together easily with basic pantry staples like bread flour, buttermilk powder, and a blend of yeast types for optimal rise. Whether shaped into simple knots or classic pull-apart clusters, these rolls bake up golden and inviting. The true magic happens after baking, when they are brushed with a simple, sweet mixture of melted butter and sugar that soaks into the crust, creating a sticky, indulgent finish. Perfect for Sunday brunch, holiday breakfasts, or simply as a treat with afternoon coffee, these rolls bring a nostalgic, homemade warmth to any table. They are versatile enough to be enjoyed plain or transformed into cinnamon rolls, making them a reliable favorite for bakers of all skill levels.

Description

These GrandmaâÂÂs Sticky Rolls are the ultimate comfort food, offering a tender, pillowy crumb infused with the warm, aromatic notes of cardamom. The dough comes together easily with basic pantry staples like bread flour, buttermilk powder, and a blend of yeast types for optimal rise. Whether shaped into simple knots or classic pull-apart clusters, these rolls bake up golden and inviting. The true magic happens after baking, when they are brushed with a simple, sweet mixture of melted butter and sugar that soaks into the crust, creating a sticky, indulgent finish. Perfect for Sunday brunch, holiday breakfasts, or simply as a treat with afternoon coffee, these rolls bring a nostalgic, homemade warmth to any table. They are versatile enough to be enjoyed plain or transformed into cinnamon rolls, making them a reliable favorite for bakers of all skill levels.

Directions

  1. Combine bread flour, sugar, salt, powdered buttermilk, cardamom, active dry yeast, and quick rising yeast in a large bowl or bread machine pan.
  2. Add water and butter to the dry ingredients.
  3. Knead the dough on the dough cycle of a bread machine or by hand/mixer until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 to 15 equal pieces.
  5. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 to 8 inches long.
  6. Tie each rope into a knot and pinch the ends together to seal.
  7. Place the knots pinched-end down in a lightly greased baking pan.
  8. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake the rolls for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. While the rolls bake, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of sugar, heating just until the sugar is slightly dissolved.
  12. Remove rolls from the oven and immediately brush the warm butter-sugar mixture over the tops.
  13. Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving.
