These rolls are perfect for holiday meals. Half of the preparation is the day before. These are probably the easiest, lightest, tastiest, dinner rolls I have ever made. Don't even require that messy kneading! Ingredients:
2 packages dry yeast |
1/4 cup very warm water |
3 eggs |
5 cups flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
3/4 cup melted butter |
2 teaspoons salt |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle yeast into 1/4 cup very warm water.
2. Stir and set aside.
3. In a large bowl beat eggs and blend in dissolved yeast.
4. Add 2 1/2 cups flour alternating with 1 cup very warm water.
5. Mix in sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter and salt.
6. Mix until smooth.
7. Beat in remaining flour to make a soft dough.
8. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in bulk (1-2 hrs).
9. Punch dough down and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
10. When ready to bake rolls, punch down refrigerated dough and divide into 2 pieces of dough.
11. Roll each half into pieced 8 inches by 15 inches.
12. Spread lavishly with softened butter.
13. Starting with the long edge, roll jelly roll fashion.
14. Cut with a very sharp knife of piece or thread into 1 inch slices.
15. Place slices into muffin tin with cut side up.
16. Let rise to double (40 to 60 minutes).
17. Bake 8- 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven to golden brown.
18. Brush with melted butter and cool on a rack.
