Baked fresh and warm, No Knead Cloverleaf Rolls bring comfort and flavor to any meal. Soft and slightly sweet, they’re the perfect addition to any dinner or special occasion.
Combine flours in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together, then set aside.
In a Dutch oven set over medium-low heat, combine milk, sugar, and oil. Whisk to combine and allow the mixture to heat to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). Once the mixture has reached that point, turn the heat off and allow it to sit for about 20 minutes or until the temperature has reduced to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
Add the yeast, then 2 cups of flour. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix until the flour is incorporated. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid or towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
When the dough has doubled, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining ¼ cup of flour, and stir to combine.
Lightly spray or butter two standard-sized muffin pans.
Roll the dough into 1½-inch balls. Place three balls in each muffin cup. Cover each pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and bake for 12-16 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Optional: Rub warm tops of rolls with butter.)
Notes
Adapted from The Pioneer Woman, PW Dinner Rolls-I’ve made these rolls several times, and baking them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) gives the best results. PW suggests 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius), but in my oven, they burn after just 8 minutes!Once cooled, STORE the Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls in an airtight container, with a layer of aluminum foil wrapped over it, at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, FREEZE them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.To REHEAT, warm in a 350 degrees F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
