NEVER FAIL EASY YEAST ROLLS
This is a sticky dough! Don't be afraid. Plunge your hands right in and shape it how you want it. I also use this as the base for my yeast rolls as it is so easy.

Steps:
- 1. Place 1 TBSP sugar, 2 TBSP water and package of yeast in a small bowl. Let this form a foam on top.
- 2. Add remaining ingrediants to a stand mixing bowl. Attach dough hook - add yeast and flour to bowl and mix.
- 3. You can immediately roll out and shape into pocketbook yeast rolls or let stand covered with cling film to rise for a couple of hours. Then knead out and make into rolls.
OLD-FASHIONED SOFT AND BUTTERY YEAST ROLLS
Member's Choice! There's nothing better than the aroma of fresh bread, and these buttery rolls will have your mouth watering while they bake. Hot out of the oven, they're super soft and just melt in your mouth. They'll be delicious with a holiday meal but are simple enough to prepare you'll find excuses to make the rolls.

Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle yeast over very warm water in large bowl. Stir until yeast dissolves. Leave to foam about 10 minutes.
- 2. Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter and salt to hot milk and stir until sugar dissolves and butter is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees.
- 3. Add milk mixture to yeast and then mix in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Use some of remaining 1/2 cup flour to dust a pastry cloth.
- 4. Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes. Use remaining flour for flouring pastry cloth and your hands.
- 5. Place dough in a warm, buttered bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
- 6. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour as possible for flouring hands, otherwise rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be.
- 7. With large knife, cut dough ball into four (4) pieces. Cut each piece into four (4) more pieces OR simply pinch off small chunks of dough and roll into round balls about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. As you roll into balls, pull sides down and under to shape roll. Place bottom side down in neat rows, not quite touching, in well-buttered 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan.
- 8. Cover rolls and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in bulk; 30 - 45 minutes. When doubled in bulk, brush tops with melted butter and bake in 375 degree F oven for 18 - 20 minutes or until nicely browned. My oven runs hot so I usually bake @ 325 so tops do not brown before rolls are done inside. Adjust your oven temp accordingly.
- 9. If desired, brush (or bathe!) rolls in more melted butter when they are hot. The butter will sizzle down sides and bottom of rolls for a buttery soft crust.
NEVER FAIL YEAST ROLLS
You would never know that these rolls have cake mix as one of the main ingredients. These rolls are easy to make and delicious! Sometimes I don't use all white flour and put 1 to 1 1/2 cups of wheat flour in as well.

Steps:
- Pour warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add sugar, butter, eggs, and salt; whisk to combine. Add flour; mix until incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Brush top of dough with butter; cover bowl with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, roll dough into a thick log. Cut into 18 equal pieces (halve log, cut each half in thirds, then cut each piece into thirds again).
- Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter. One at a time, flatten each piece of dough, then fold edges toward the center, pressing to secure, until a smooth ball forms. Place dough balls in prepared baking pan, smooth side up (you should have 3 rows of 6). Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes. (Alternatively, refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove plastic wrap; brush rolls with butter. Bake until golden and rolls sound hollow when tapped on bottom, 35 to 40 minutes (tent with aluminum foil if browning too quickly). Pull rolls apart, and serve warm.

Tips:
- Use active dry yeast that is not expired. Check the expiration date on the package.
- Make sure the water is warm, but not hot. The ideal temperature is between 105°F and 115°F (40°C and 46°C).
- Let the yeast mixture sit for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients. This will allow the yeast to activate and start growing.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the rolls light and airy.
- Bake the rolls at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
These easy yeast rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are perfect for holidays, potlucks, or everyday dinners. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these rolls at home and enjoy them fresh from the oven.
