This batch of dinner rolls can be made up to 4 days ahead-perfect for those big dinners where you want to do as much as possible the day before. Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (105 f to 115 f) |
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons) |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
additional melted butter (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
2. Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt.
4. Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix with a spoon (some flour may not be needed). At this point, use dough hook or knead on floured surface for 10 minutes until dough is smooth.
5. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, or at this point it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
6. Grease one 16.5x12-inch or two 12x9-inch baking pans.
7. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board.
8. Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces (about 50 grams each).
9. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan.
10. Cover and let dough balls rise until double in volume, about 1 hour. (Remember if you are using dough that has been refrigerated and is cold this step will take longer).
11. Preheat oven to 375°F Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
12. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired.
13. Break rolls apart to serve.
