Pull-apart Sour Cream and Chive Rolls

I think Claire says this one best: “These melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls, from Claire Saffitz’s cookbook Dessert Person, are even more tender and pillowy than the classic Parker House rolls that inspired this recipe. That’s thanks to the addition of tangzhong, a white roux made from flour and milk cooked to a stiff paste, often used to make Japanese milk bread. The cooked starches in the tangzhong help the dough retain moisture and keeps the rolls super soft and light. The slight onion flavor of chives and tang of sour cream give them oomph. They’re as equally excellent at mopping up gravy as they are at holding the contents of a leftover turkey sandwich. “If food could give you a hug, these rolls definitely would,” says Claire.”

These were very easily a 10/10

This was first time making a tangzhong. Much like adding potato to the flat bread, it was an odd technique, but 100% elevates the dish.
Add the rest of the ingredients then knead
Definitely didn’t cut them evenly 😅
With beans from my friends garden!
