Our homemade yeast rolls are just like the one’s Grandma used to make. Warm, tender dinner rolls topped with melted butter. Serve them as-is or with honey!
Ingredients
- 4.5 Cups All-Purpose Flour, (up to five ((5)) cups if needed)
- 1 1/2 Cups Milk, (warmed to 110-115 degrees F.)
- 2 Tablespoons Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, (melted, but not hot!!)
- 2 Large Egg
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the 3 cups of flour, milk, yeast, sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg.
- Use a dough hook to mix the ingredients on low speed for 2 minutes until it begins to come together. Add additional flour ¼ to ½ cup at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Increase the speed to medium, and continue to mix for an additional 5-6 minutes. If the dough is sticky to the touch or sticks to the bowl, continue to add flour a couple of tablespoons at a time until the the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a smooth ball, and transfer it to a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it double in size (about 30 minutes to an 1 hour depending on the room temperature).
- After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to deflate it. Separate the dough into about 24 equal different pieces. If you have access to a kitchen scale, it’s best to weigh out the dough to ensure the pieces are the same size.
- Roll the pieces into balls, and place them into a greased 9 x 13 – inch baking dish or an equivalent sized baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel or piece of greased plastic wrap, and allow to double in size (about 30 minutes to 1 hour). Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top with melted butter, and serve warm. Yeast rolls are best served in large plastic zip bags, and stay fresh for about 3 days enjoy .
