Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h3m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pkg active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted + extra for brushing at the end)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 - 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a very large bowl, then stir in the sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the egg, melted butter, and salt. Stir in as much of the flour as you can with a wooden spoon.
  • Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes. Alternatively: You can turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place back in the lightly greased large bowl, turning one to cover the surface of the dough with grease. Cover with a clean hand towel and let rise in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and cover the dough back up with the cloth and let rest for 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease two 9x13-inch pans. For Larger Rolls: Use a 15x10-inch pan and do not divide the dough.
  • Divide each half of the dough into 12 pieces and shape the rolls by gently pulling each dough piece into a ball, tucking the edges under and arranging on the baking sheets. If you are making larger rolls, make 15 equally sized balls of dough.
  • Cover the pans of rolls with hand towels and let rise in a warm place until the rolls have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Brush the rolls with more butter after removing from the oven. Best served within 24 hours.

O'CHARLEY'S YEAST ROLLS



O'charley's Yeast Rolls image

O'Charley's Famous Yeast Rolls recipe. This is not a recipe of my own. This was a recipe posted on another site. I have not tried it yet, but I thought I would share it.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h25m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup whole milk
1/2 ounce dry yeast
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
4 1/2-5 cups flour

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Mix 1/3 of the milk with the dry yeast in a small bowl and let sit until bubbly. In a large bowl, combine remaining milk, melted butter, salt and sugar and beat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Then add the beaten eggs and bubbly yeast.
  • Add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, beating on high speed of stand mixer. This step should take at least 5 minutes. When the dough gets too stiff to beat, stir in rest of flour by hand, if necessary, to make a soft dough. Turn out onto floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and satiny. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size. (I have also covered the dough well and placed it in the refrigerator overnight. This works really well.)
  • Punch down the dough and roll out on floured surface to 1/2" thickness. Cut with 3" round cookie cutter. Brush each roll with melted butter and fold in half to make half circles. Pinch edge lightly to hold, so the rolls don't unfold as they rise. Place in 2 greased 13x9" pans, cover, and let rise again until double. (If you refrigerated the dough, this will take a little longer.)
  • Bake rolls at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan immediately and brush with more melted butter. Don't use the same butter you used when forming the rolls - melt some fresh just for this step. Makes 24 rolls.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: To ensure your yeast rolls rise properly, follow the package instructions for activating the yeast. Generally, this involves mixing the yeast with warm water and a small amount of sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for the specified amount of time, until it becomes foamy and bubbly. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.
  • Use warm ingredients: Yeast thrives in warm environments, so make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will help the yeast work more effectively and produce light and fluffy rolls.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
  • Let the dough rise twice: After kneading the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. Then, punch down the dough and shape it into rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Brush the rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven to give them a shiny glaze.
