Ingredients
Ingredients
Active dry yeast
4 teaspoons (Dissolved in warm water)
Warm water
1/2 cup (To dissolve the yeast)
Milk
2 cups (Scalded and cooled to lukewarm)
Melted butter
3 tablespoons (Slightly cooled before adding to the dough)
Sugar
1/2 cup (Added to the dough mixture)
All-purpose flour
7-8 cups (Enough to form a soft dough)
Whole eggs
2 (Beaten and added to the dough)
Salt
2 teaspoons (Added to the dough)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water along with a teaspoon of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with 2 cups of scalded milk (cooled to lukewarm), 1/2 cup of sugar, and enough flour to form a medium batter that resembles pancake batter. Mix thoroughly.
3
Add the melted butter, whole eggs, and salt into the batter. Beat vigorously until the mixture is well combined.
4
Gradually incorporate enough additional flour to form a soft dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
5
Lightly sprinkle flour onto your countertop. Place the dough on the floured surface and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
6
Grease a large bowl with a bit of oil or butter. Knead the dough until smooth and satiny, about 4-5 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand. Once kneaded, place the dough in the greased bowl, turning it over to coat the top in oil.
7
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
8
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into portions, depending on your desired roll size, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
9
Shape each portion into rolls, using your preferred method (balls, knots, etc.). Place the shaped rolls on greased baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for rising.
10
Cover the rolls lightly with a towel or plastic wrap and let them rise again until they double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
11
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls are rising. Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
12
As soon as they come out of the oven, baste the rolls generously with melted butter. Serve warm with Cinnamon Honey Butter for a delicious finishing touch.
