Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt (can use less)
1/4 c butter, melted
1/2 c warm water (105-115 degrees)
2 pkg Fleischmann's active dry yeast
2 large eggs, beaten
4 1/2 c all-purpose flour, may need a bit more or less, see directions
additional butter for coating bowls used and brushing on tops of baked rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Scald milk (bring just to a boil and remove from heat immediately).
  • 2. Stir in sugar, salt, and butter. Set aside and allow to cool to lukewarm.
  • 3. In a large bowl mix warm water and yeast. Stir until dissolved.
  • 4. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture.
  • 5. Add beaten eggs.
  • 6. Stir in half the flour. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour gradually, mixing as you go. You may need a bit more or less than the total 4 1/2 cups called for in the recipe, depending on the humidity and other factors.
  • 7. Your dough should be elastic and slightly stiff but not dry.
  • 8. Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and very elastic. This usually takes 8-10 minutes.
  • 9. Butter the inside of a large mixing bowl. Put dough in bowl and turn dough over a couple of times to coat it all with the butter.
  • 10. Cover bowl and place in a warm place so it can rise.
  • 11. It will take about 1 hour to double in bulk.
  • 12. At that time punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured board to shape.
  • 13. At this point, you can shape and fill as desired. To make dinner rolls, pinch off about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and shape into a ball. Place each one in a buttered muffin tin or baking pan, barely touching each other, do not crowd rolls.
  • 14. Cover prepared rolls and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, again about 1 hour.
  • 15. Rolls should now touch each other. (A little more rising will occur during baking.)
  • 16. Preheat oven to 350 degrees when rolls are about 10 minutes from being ready for baking. When ready to bake place rolls in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They should be browned nicely and smell so good and yeasty!
  • 17. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter immediately when removed from the oven.
  • 18. Allow rolls to sit for at least 10-15 minutes before eating.

These rolls have been a favorite of ours for nearly 25 years. I even baked them in an old wood stove when we lived on a farm.

Categories     dessert

Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large eggs
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (6 ounces)
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup (4 ounces) margarine, at room temperature
8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
Oil, for brushing
1/2 cup (4 ounces) margarine, at room temperature
2 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans, chopped
4 cups confectioners' sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon almond extract
1/2 cup (4 ounces) margarine, at room temperature
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • 1. For the dough: In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Combine the warm milk and margarine and add to the egg mixture. While mixing slowly, gradually add 4 cups of the flour; beat to combine. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining 4 cups flour and mix on medium speed for about 7 minutes to make a soft dough.
  • 2. Turn the dough out of the bowl. Knead briefly and form into a ball. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the margarine over the dough and sprinkle the entire surface with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Roll the dough up into a cylinder starting with a long edge, and then cut into 12 slices. Lay the slices in an oiled baking pan and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • 5. For the icing: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, salt, and almond extract together in a large bowl. Whisk in a tablespoon of margarine at a time until combined. (This will look a little crumbly.) Slowly whisk in the milk to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls; set aside for a couple minutes for the glaze to set. Serve.

FABULOUS OVERNIGHT ROLLS



Fabulous Overnight Rolls image

I found this recipe in a magazine almost 35 years ago and have been using it ever since. This is a sweet dough that is easy to make and very soft, but, it can be formed into different shapes on the board with sufficient flour (I always have made crescents). You can use all purpose flour or bread flour (the original recipe called for unbleached flour, I use all purpose). I have tried butter and shortening in making these rolls and my family and I love both. The butter makes richer rolls, while shortening makes fluffier rolls. They can be made weeks ahead and frozen. Hope you try them.

Time 1h10m

Yield 32 Rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
4 cups unbleached flour (I use all purpose)
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 -3 tablespoons oil, approximately (I use Canola)
1/4-1/2 cup melted butter (approximately)

Steps:

  • *Prepare the night before:.
  • Heat milk, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan, just until butter melts; remove from heat and cool slightly. (85 degrees).
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees) in large bowl of electric mixer.
  • When milk mixture is lukewarm (85 degrees), beat into yeast.
  • Add 2 cups flour and beat at slow, then medium speed 2 minutes. (There should be no lumps.)
  • Beat in eggs; when well blended, stop mixer and scrape down beaters and bowl.
  • Slowly add 1 cup flour, beating at low speed 2 minutes.
  • Remove beaters, stir in 3/4 cup flour and beat with wooden spoon until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Oil a large bowl and turn dough into it, leaving room for expansion; brush top with oil and cover with plastic (wrap airtight).
  • Refrigerate up to 2 days, punching down whenever double in bulk (about every 9-10 hours).
  • SHAPING: Remove from refrigerator 2 1/2 to 3 hours before shaping.
  • Punch dough down and beat out all air bubbles by kneading.
  • Divide dough in 4 equal pieces. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup flour on board and roll each piece into a circle 1/8 thick.
  • Brush with melted butter, then cut each circle in about 8 wedges; roll each up from wide to narrow end to form a crescent.
  • Arrange crescents on lightly oiled (I use Pam) baking sheets, allowing room for rolls to triple in size. Brush with more melted butter, cover with plastic and set in a warm place to rise (about 1 hour).
  • Bake in preheated 400 degree oven about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pale gold.
  • Remove to racks to cool.

BLUE RIBBON OVERNIGHT ROLLS



BLUE RIBBON OVERNIGHT ROLLS image

Categories     Bread     Side

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1.In a large bowl, mix together yeast, milk and sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes. 2.Mix eggs, butter and salt into yeast mixture. Mix in flour, 2 cups at a time. Cover with wax paper. Let dough stand at room temperature overnight. 3.In the morning, divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 9 inch round circle. Cut each round into 12 pie shaped wedges. Roll up each wedge starting from wide end to the tip. Place on greased cookie sheets. Let stand until ready to bake. 4.Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all your ingredients. This will make the process go much smoother.
  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Make sure the water is warm enough to activate the yeast, but not too hot that it kills it. The ideal temperature is between 105°F and 115°F.
  • Knead the Dough Well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: The first rise should be in a warm place, about 75°F to 85°F. The dough should double in size. The second rise should be in the refrigerator, which will help develop the flavor and texture of the rolls.
  • Bake the Rolls at a High Temperature: This will create a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
  • Let the Rolls Cool Before Serving: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These blue ribbon overnight rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They're soft, fluffy, and have a delicious flavor that everyone will love.
