Recipe Category: Yeast Breads
Keywords: Breads, Canadian, Healthy, Weeknight, Oven, < 4 Hours
Servings: 24 rolls
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 cups | Flour |
| 1/2 cup | Fast rising yeast |
| 1/2 cup | Sugar |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 2 cups | Warm water |
| 1 | Egg (for brushing) |
| – | Oil (for greasing) |
Instructions:
-
Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine a bit of warm water and sugar. Add the fast rising yeast and let it foam and bubble for a few minutes.
-
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
-
Combine ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it into the flour mixture. Also, add the two eggs, warm water, and oil. Mix until well combined.
-
Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. If using a KitchenAid mixer, knead on speed 3 for a couple of minutes.
-
First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
-
Shape the rolls: After the first rise, punch down the dough and shape it into rolls. For cloverleaf rolls, divide the dough into small balls (no bigger than a ping pong ball) and place three balls in each greased muffin cup.
-
Second rise: Let the shaped rolls rise again until they double in size.
-
Preheat the oven: Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F).
-
Brush with egg: Once the rolls have risen, brush them with beaten egg for a nice brown finish.
-
Bake: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy the fluffy goodness of these quick rolls!
