Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Side Dish

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -5 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp rapid rise, instant yeast
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm milk (, 110 degrees)
5 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg (, room temperature)
2 tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and mix until flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup flour and blend with the dough hook until incorporated. And another 1/2 cup flour and repeat, mixing at medium speed for another 2 minutes until a ball of dough is formed.
  • Add additional flour as necessary. The dough should be slightly sticky and soft and pulling away from the edge of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Remove the towel or plastic wrap and deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough and form 24 rolls. You can weigh them to keep the rolls close to the same size. Mine were about 2 ounces each but this will vary depending on how much flour you added.
  • Transfer the rolls to a lightly greased quarter baking sheet or 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If the rolls are getting too brown, just tent the rolls with foil.
  • Remove rolls and brush hot rolls with the melted butter. Serve immediately or store cooled rolls in a plastic bag for up to 3 days.

PAT "MOM'S" YEAST ROLLS



Pat

Member's Choice! This is a great dinner roll recipe. They'd make a nice addition to any meal! They're slightly firm on the outside but the inside is light and airy.

Provided by Marion Dyess

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c milk
6 Tbsp shortening
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 c warm water
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 c sifted all-purpose flour
2-3 c sifted all-purpose flour additional
1 tsp honey
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter, optional
egg white with a little water (for egg wash)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine milk, shortening, and sugar. Bring to a low boil "scald". Stir.
  • 2. Pour into a stand mixer and allow to cool until lukewarm.
  • 3. In the meantime, put hot water (120 degrees) and honey in 1 cup of water. Mix and add yeast. Allow this to get foamy. Then add to the milk mixture.
  • 4. Now, sift 3 cups of flour. Add a little to the mixer at a time mixing while you go. Use your paddle attachment and stir on the low setting. I use no more than two until all ingredients are incorporated. The mixture should be smooth... Like cake mix.
  • 5. Add salt.
  • 6. Add vinegar.
  • 7. Add the additional flour a little at a time until the dough has formed.
  • 8. Knead until elastic (8-10 minutes).
  • 9. Place in a greased bowl and coat both sides.
  • 10. Cover and allow to rise for at least an hour.
  • 11. Punch down dough.
  • 12. Turnout on the board and divide in half. Let it rest for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 13. Shape your rolls or loaves in a fully greased pan. Cover and rise again until the center is slightly higher than the edge of the pan (about one hour). The rolls should just come up over the top of the pan when they have fully risen.
  • 14. In the meantime, preheat your oven to convection bake at 375 degrees or 400 degrees if you don't have convection. I like to brush them with a little egg wash before I bake them.
  • 15. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes and test with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
  • 16. As a final optional step, my family likes it when I pour melted butter over the rolls to soak into them. I do this after I've let them rest after coming out of the oven for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
  • 17. Special note - I have found it better to add the vinegar directly to the first batch of flour an to stir it in.

1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and 2 Tablespoons sugar in 1/4 cup warm water, set aside.
  • Microwave 2 cups water, shortening and salt, until the shortening melts.

Tips:

  • To achieve a soft and fluffy texture, make sure to use active dry yeast that is not expired. If you're using instant yeast, reduce the amount by one-fourth.
  • For a richer flavor, use milk instead of water. You can also add a tablespoon of melted butter or oil to the dough.
  • Don't overwork the dough, as this can make the rolls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size. This usually takes about an hour.
  • Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter or milk to give them a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (about 15 minutes). This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.

Conclusion:

Mom's yeast rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're perfect for sandwiches, sliders, or simply served with butter and jam. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these rolls at home and impress your family and friends with your baking skills.
