Homemade Yeast Rolls Recipe
Servings: 24 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 ½ to 5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk warmed to 110°F to 115°F
- 2 tablespoons rapid rise yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, but not hot
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the 3 cups of flour, milk, yeast, sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg.1 ½ cups milk, 2 tablespoons rapid rise yeast, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 large 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°F.
- 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.
