Ingredients

1 1/2 cups buttermilk (warmed)
1/2 cup water (warmed)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
2 packages Red Star Platinum Instant Yeast
1 large egg
1 package ranch dressing mix (or 2 packages for extra flavor)
5-6 cups all-purpose flour (divided)

Instructions

Pour the buttermilk (95-115 degrees Fahrenheit, water and the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk. (If the yeast is not instant yeast, let it sit for 5 minutes to activate.)
Add the egg, ranch seasoning and 3 cups of flour. Use the paddle and mix until the flour is absorbed and the mixture is moistened.
Add 2 1/2 more cups of flour. Switch the attachment to the dough hook and knead on medium speed for about 7 minutes. Add more flour as needed so that the dough is slightly tacky to the touch. Be careful and add the flour slowly or the bread will end up dry.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn the dough so it is greased on all sides. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30-40 minutes).
Punch the dough down, divide the dough into 14 or 15 pieces of dough. (We've put 15 rolls in a 9x13 pan. You can also put 7 rolls each in a 9" deep dish pie plate. Or, make 18 smaller dough balls and place them in 2 8x8" square pans.)
Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan. Cover the rolls and let them rise again in a warm place until double in size, about 25-30 minutes.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-23 minutes. The baking time will depend on what type of pan you use and how closely they are packed in. Bread is done when the internal temperature of the bread is between 190-200º Fahrenheit.
Serve warm and store in an airtight container.

Notes

You can also make this into two French bread loaves. Divide the ball of dough into two pieces. Roll each half into a 12x7 inch rectangle. Roll the dough up tightly lengthwise. Place seam down on a cookie sheet and let rise until it is double in size. Bake at 375 for 20-23 minutes.
