Ingredients
Milk
1 cup (Scalded)
Sugar
1/4 cup
Salt
1 teaspoon
Margarine
1/4 cup (Melted (1/2 stick))
Warm Water
1/2 cup
Yeast
2 (1/4 ounce) packages (Active dry or compressed)
Eggs
2 (Beaten)
Flour
5 1/4 cups (Unsifted)
Instructions
1
In a saucepan, scald the milk over medium heat. Once it begins to simmer, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, salt, and melted margarine. Allow the mixture to cool until it reaches a lukewarm temperature.
2
In a large warm mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved.
3
Incorporate the lukewarm milk mixture, beaten eggs, and 2 cups of flour into the yeast mixture. Using a mixer or a whisk, beat until the batter is smooth and well-blended.
4
Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to create a soft dough. Keep mixing until the dough becomes cohesive and slightly sticky.
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
6
Transfer the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, ensuring the top is greased as well. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until it doubles in size, roughly 30 minutes.
7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the gases. Turn it out onto a floured surface again.
8
Shape the dough into your desired roll shape—whether cloverleaf, knots, or crescents—placing the rolls on a greased baking sheet. Allow them to rise again, covered, for an additional 30 minutes.
9
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
10
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted margarine or butter, if desired. Serve warm.
