Directions:Prep the yeast: Add the yeast, warm water and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and lightly whisk. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and starts to foam.
Form the dough: To the bowl of your mixer add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Lightly mix everything together, using the dough hook of your mixer, for about 1 minute. Add the flour, 2 or 3 cups at a time, and mix. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.
Allow the dough to rise: Add additional flour as needed and mix until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. You could use anywhere from 6 to 8 cups, depending on your environment. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
Prepare the baking sheets: Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees.
Assemble the rolls: Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface and divide into 2 portions for shaping. I like to roll out the dough so that it’s about 1/2 inch in thickness then cut out the ends to have a perfect rectangle, then cut it out into squares or rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough, you should get about 30 to 35 rolls. Place onto the prepared baking sheets and let the rolls rise until doubled in size.
Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter. |
