Description:
Even the beginner cook can make these. And they’re true home-made rolls. They must chill for 2 hours, or you can make them up to 3 days in advance.
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | cup water |
| 2 | tablespoons butter |
| 1/2 | cup sugar |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| 3 | eggs |
| 1 | teaspoon active dry yeast |
| 4 1/4 | cups all-purpose flour |
Instructions:
-
Combine water and yeast in a large bowl; let it stand for 5 minutes until the yeast activates.
-
Stir in butter, sugar, eggs, and salt using a wooden spoon until well combined.
-
Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating in as much as you can until a dough forms. You will likely use all the flour.
-
Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days, allowing it to rise slowly and develop flavor.
-
Grease a 13×9 baking pan to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
-
Roll each piece into a smooth round ball by gently shaping them with your hands.
-
Arrange the rolls in rows in the prepared pan, leaving some space between each roll for rising.
-
Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s fully heated before baking.
-
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, typically about 17 minutes.
-
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
