These rolls are very soft and light. They make children and husbands very happy. My husband asked, Can you make these ALL the time? Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups warm milk |
4 teaspoons dry yeast |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 eggs |
7 cups flour |
1/4-1/2 cup butter (reserved) |
Directions:
1. Note: Due to its sticky nature, this recipe is best made in a standing mixer with a dough hook; the truly persistent could probably make this by hand with a bowl and a wooden spoon- these rolls are worth the extra effort.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
3. Add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
4. Add flour and mix well.
5. Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
7. Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to punch down the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
8. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36 plops ; The dough will be very sticky.
9. Place plops , edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the plops - they will smooth out as they raise.
10. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
11. Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
12. Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
