Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Serves: 24

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C. water or milk (110 – 120 degrees F)

1/3 C. sugar (1 teaspoon will be used for the yeast mixture)

2 pkg. yeast or 2 tablespoons

5 T. butter, melted

1 egg

1 tsp. salt

4 1/4 C. bread flour or all purpose flour

What to do:

Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Attach the dough hook and start the mixer at the lowest speed. Mix until the flour is thoroughly incorporated, ensuring to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium and continue beating for a duration of 2 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup of flour and blend using the dough hook until fully incorporated. Subsequently, add an additional 1/2 cup of flour and repeat the process, mixing at medium speed for another 2 minutes until a cohesive ball of dough is formed.

Add an additional 1/4 cup of flour if necessary. The dough should be slightly sticky, soft, and pulling away from the edge of the bowl. Continue mixing the dough for an additional five minutes. Avoid adding more flour than needed to prevent creating a dry dough.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes or longer at room temperature. It should double in size.

Remove the towel or plastic wrap and lightly deflate the dough by punching it down. Pinch off pieces of the dough and form 24 rolls. For consistency, consider weighing them to ensure uniform size, though this may vary depending on the amount of flour used. Transfer the rolls to a lightly greased baking sheet or a 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes or until they double in size at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked. If the rolls begin to brown excessively, tent them with foil. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter while hot.

Christina’s Notes:

To make the perfect temperature for raising dough, turn on your oven for about 2 minutes at 350 degrees. Then turn off the oven and turn your oven light on. Then let it rise in the oven.
