NO-KNEAD CLOVERLEAF ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the dough: Combine the milk and canola oil in a large pot. Stir in the sugar. Scald the milk by heating it almost to a boil. Turn off the heat and let cool until warm.
• Add 8 cups of the flour and the yeast to the milk mixture and stir until combined (it will be super sticky!). Cover the pot with a lid or dishtowel and let the dough sit until risen, an hour or so.
• Sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup flour and the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir gently to combine; it takes a while to get it stirred together.
• To make the rolls: Drizzle a small amount of butter into 36 muffins cups (3 standard muffin pans). Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into neat balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin cup.
• Set the pans in a draft-free, slightly warm place; cover with a lightweight dish towel and allow the rolls to rise until light and puffy, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake until deep golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve piping hot.

CLOVERLEAF ROLLS

Steps:

• Stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar into the milk. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine the remaining sugar, flour and salt. With the mixer on low, add the yeast mixture and the egg and knead until the dry ingredients have been incorporated (you may have to help it along at first with a spatula) and the dough is smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the melted butter (the dough will slosh around in the butter for a few minutes, but will eventually absorb it all) and continue to knead the dough until smooth, increasing the speed to medium, another 5 to 10 minutes. The dough will be shiny and elastic; if it's at all sticky, scrape down the sides of the bowl and gather the dough into a neat ball (no need to add extra flour). Cover the bowl with plastic and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Gently tip the dough out onto a work surface. You shouldn't need flour at this point. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Work with one piece at a time and keep the other pieces covered. Divide each piece into 3 equal pieces, roll each piece into a tight ball and place into one cup. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray lightly with plastic wrap and set aside to double again, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The dough should look puffy and spring back slowly when pressed gently.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Remove the plastic wrap and without deflating the dough, gently brush the rolls with butter. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

• Pour the milk into a microwave safe bowl (or 4-cup measuring cup) and microwave on high for 30 seconds.Whisk in the honey, pumpkin, egg and water (the liquid mixture should be less than 110 deg or it will kill the yeast).
• With a fork, blend the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, until you have a soft dough.Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Two hours before baking, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and kneed 6 sage leaves worth of slivered sage leaves into the dough.
• Melt the butter and set aside. Divide the dough in half then divide each half into 6 portions, then divide each portion into 3 pieces. With floured hands, roll each piece into a ball and dip it into the melted butter. Place 3 balls in a muffin cup, continue until all 12 cups are filled.
• Drizzle or brush each roll with 1/2 tsp of leftover melted butter and sprinkle the remaining slivered sage leaves on top. Let the rolls rise in a warm spot (at least 70°F) until they are double in size, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. The three balls of dough will rise together to form a cloverleaf shape.
• Heat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls until golden, about 15-17 minutes.
