delicious dinner rolls

 

Delicious rolls!  I thought my family would appreciate some comfort food since we have Covid in the house. I pulled out my Kitchen Aid mixer for this recipe and decided it's not so bad to use a mixer instead of kneading by hand although I do prefer the old fashioned way.   These rolls are easy to make and worth it.

2 1/2 cups warm milk

4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons salt

7 cups all-purpose flour (I needed 8-9 cups)

melted butter for tops

Pour milk into the large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over the surface.  Allow to rest for 5 minutes.  Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter and salt; blend thoroughly.  Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough.  Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.  Punch down the dough, cover the bowl and allow to rise again.  Repeat this step two more times.

Break off 2 to 3 inch pieces of dough, roll lightly into a round shape and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching.  Repeat to make 36 balls (I actually made 24).  Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Bake rolls in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.  When rolls are finished baking, drizzle melted butter over the top and serve warm.
