SWEET DINNER ROLLS

Provided by Sophia 3000

Categories     Savory Breads

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg yeast
1/3 c granulated (white) sugar
1/2 c mashed potatoes
1/2 c warm water (110 degrees)
4 Tbsp butter (soften)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
3 - 4 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add the remaining sugar,mashed potatoes, butter, salt, and eggs. Mix well. Stir in 3 cups of flour. You can either knead for 3-4 minutes or you can use a stand mixer with the hook attachment (placed on #2) to do all the work. Add enough of the remaining flour to the dough to prevent sticking, (that's anywhere between 1/2 to a full cup). Shape dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Make sure all the dough is covered with oil as well. I like to cover my bowl first with plactic wrap and put a towl on top. Let the dough rise for an hour or until doubled (could be a little longer than an hour).
  • 3. When dough has doubled, punch it down and let it rest for 5 minutes. Divide into balls, you can get anywhere from 15-20 depending on the size you roll it. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 pan,cover with plastic thats been sprayed with oil. The oil side should be touching the rolls, let rise again for an additional 40-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees anywhere between 15 - 20 minutes (depending on your oven).
  • 4. You can brush the rolls with butter if you like. They are best served warm but, are perfectly good at room temp. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use active dry yeast for the best results, and make sure it's fresh and not expired.
  • Proof the yeast in warm water with a little bit of sugar to ensure it's active and bubbly before adding it to the dough.
  • Use lukewarm milk for the dough, as it will help to activate the yeast and make the rolls rise better.
  • Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it's doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  • Shape the dough pieces into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they're puffy and doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after they come out of the oven to keep them soft and moist.

Conclusion:

These sweet dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're soft, fluffy, and have a slightly sweet flavor that makes them perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them with a holiday meal, a potluck, or just a weeknight dinner, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
