Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place, such as a sunny window or a turned-off oven, until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Shape the rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These golden refrigerator rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are soft, fluffy, and have a delicious buttery flavor. They are also easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. Simply make the dough the night before and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, shape the rolls and let them rise again before baking. You can also freeze the unbaked rolls for up to 2 months. When you are ready to bake them, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then let them rise again before baking.
