Really easy and delicous. Can't remember where I got the recipe but it is scribbled on the back of another recipe and I've mislaid it too many times so decided I would post it here; maybe this way I won't lose it. Ingredients:
1/4 cup warm water (115 degrees fahrenheit) |
2 (1/4 ounce) packets active dry yeast |
1 1/2 cups warm milk (115 degrees fahrenheit) |
1/2 cup butter, plus more for bowl and pans (unsalted & melted) |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 1/4 teaspoons salt |
3 large eggs, divided |
6 -6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface (spooned and leveled) |
Directions:
1. Place warm water in a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, butter, sugar, salt, and 2 eggs. Whisk in yeast mixture.
3. Using a wooden spoon, stir in 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft, shaggy dough (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour).
4. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Butter the inside of a large bowl; place dough in bowl, turning to coat.
6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1-1/4 hours.
7. Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans.
8. Divide dough in half.
9. Roll each half into a 15-inch rope; cut each rope into 15 1-inch pieces.
10. Press each piece into a disk, then shape into a ball.
11. Arrange dough balls in prepared pans.
12. (To make ahead: Wrap pans well, and freeze, up to 2 months.)
13. Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until rolls have doubled in size, about 1-1/4 hours (2 hours more if frozen).
14. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, with racks in upper and lower thirds.
15. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg until blended; brush onto rolls.
16. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through.
17. Let rolls cool 15 minutes before serving.
