Ingredients

2 Tbsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, lukewarm
1/2 cup melted butter

5 cups spelt flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Buttermilk Rolls

Place dry yeast in bowl. Add the honey and while stirring, pour in the buttermilk. Continue to stir until yeast is dissolved.

Mix in the melted butter.

Mix in two cups of the flour, the baking soda, and salt. Beat well, cover, and set in a warm place until mixture rises about two inches up the bowl, about 25 minutes.

Stir down and add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Beat well. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Punch down.

Divide the dough into 24 pieces and form each pieces into a ball. Place one inch apar in buttered layer pans or on baking sheets.

Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 10 minutes.



Preheat the oven to 400°. Bake the rolls about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 2 dozen rolls.
