This one is from Taste of Home (1998 Joan Priefert). It feeds a crowd. The method here is different than I usually do, but trust it, it works wonderfully. The dough can be made up to three days ahead and leftovers freeze well...so I am told!

Time 2h10m

Yield 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups warm milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
melted butter (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, shortening and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, salt and enough remaining flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Turn onto a heavily floured surface; pat to 1/2 inches thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter or drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops with butter if desired. Dough may be refrigerated up to 3 days. Punch down each day.
  • Notes from me: I use rapid rise yeast and powdered milk for this, so I put the 4 cups of flour, dry yeast, sugar and 1 cup milk powder in the mixer, and add 4 1/4 cups hot water. Proceed as directed.
  • My favorite method for forming these rolls is the drop method above. I spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and use it to scoop the dough straight out of the bowl.

Provided by á-6184

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients
1 TB yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 cups warm milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
2 eggs
3-4 cups flour
butter melted

Steps:

  • Instructions Mix 1 TB yeast with ¼ cup warm water and ½ tsp. sugar. Let stand until bubbly. In a large bowl mix 1 cup warm milk, ½ cup oil, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. salt with a wooden spoon. Add 1 cups of flour to mixture, and mix well. Add 2 eggs and beat until smooth (mix vigorously be hand). Add yeast mixture and mix vigorously until smooth. Add 3-4 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Dough should be very sticky. Pour the dough into a large bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it has doubled in size. Once the dough has doubled in size punch down and divide in half. Roll dough onto a floured surface making a circle about 12 inches round. Dough should be about ⅜" thick. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut circles with a pizza cutter into 12 pieces (like a pizza). Roll from rounded edge to the point to make a crescent roll. Place into a greased pan (we use an 11 x16 metal pan and do 3 across and 8 rows down). Cover dough with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it doubles in size. Bake at 375 until light lightly browned, which is about 15-20 minutes. NOTE: Touch rolls to see if they bounce back - if they do not, bake a little longer). Brushed with melted butter right while warm. ENJOY!

HARD ROLLS (USING A STAND MIXER)



Hard Rolls (Using a Stand Mixer) image

Oh how I miss hard rolls! Similar to Kaiser rolls, but crustier, when well buttered, these are a typical quick breakfast in the fast-paced metropolis of NYC and north-eastern NJ. A northern comparison to biscuts and gravy here in the southern USA, but these can be eaten on-the-go for a morning meal and are a lot less messy! These rolls will keep all day in a brown paper bag in your bread box.

Time 45m

Yield 4 rolls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (110F.)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
cornmeal (for dusting)
1 egg yolk (beaten with 1 Tbsp water for eggwash)
1 tablespoon poppy seed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl (or your KitchenAid), dissolve yeast with 3/4 cup of the water and sugar. Mix in remaining water, flour, and salt. Mix until dough starts to form. If too sticky, add a bit more flour. Knead for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Put dough into an oiled bowl, turn to coat, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F If you have a baking stone, dust lightly with cornmeal and put into preheated oven. If not, use a cookie sheet. Place a shallow baking pan filled with boiling hot water on bottom of your oven for extra crusty rolls.
  • ROLLS: Remove dough to a floured surface. Punch down dough and shape into 4 rolls. Place rolls on a peel (large wooden spatula), also lightly dusted with cornmeal, or on a cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise again for 20 minutes. Slit each roll once and brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds. If on a peel, slide loaves onto stone or tile; otherwise put cookie sheet in oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden and baked through.
  • NOTE: To check for doneness, thump the bottom; if they sound hollow, they're done.

Tips:

  • Activate your yeast properly: Active dry yeast should be added to warm water with a little sugar to help it bloom and become active before being added to the dough. Instant yeast can be added directly to the dough without needing to be activated first.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 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 turned-off oven with the light on, 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 of dough into a roll by cupping your hand around it and rolling it on a lightly floured surface.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Place the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Brush the rolls with butter: Once the rolls are out of the oven, brush them with melted butter to give them a shiny crust.

Conclusion:

These heavenly hard rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are soft and chewy on the inside, with a crispy crust on the outside. They are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or just eating on their own. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make these delicious rolls at home.
