Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 tablespoons warm water

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

  • ¾ cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, divided

  • 10 tablespoons butter, melted and divided

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons molasses

Directions

  1. Mix water and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

  2. Whisk buttermilk and oil into the yeast mixture. Stir in flour, salt, and baking soda until dough comes together.

  3. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Let dough rest for 15 minutes.

  4. Whisk 3/4 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

  5. Roll dough out into a 12-inch long rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread cinnamon mixture evenly on top. Roll up lengthwise into a log; cut into 1-inch slices using a serrated knife.

  6. Whisk remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and molasses together in a small bowl. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Arrange dough slices on top. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can let rolls rise in the refrigerator overnight instead of at room temperature in step 6.
