BUTTERY ROLLS

4 TO 4 1/3 CUPS BREAD FLOUR (KING ARTHUR IS GOOD)

1 PACKET YEAST EITHER ACTIVE DRY OR RAPID RISE

1 1/2 tsp SALT

1 CUP WARM MILK (70-80')

1/2 CUP SOFTENED BUTTER (ONE STICK)

1/4 CUP SUGAR

2 LARGE EGGS

IN LARGE BOWL, COMBINE 3 CUPS FLOUR, YEAST, AND SALT.

IN SMALL SAUCEPAN, HEAT THE MILK, BUTTER AND SUGAR TO 120'

ADD TO THE DRY INGREDIENTS, BEAT ON MEDIUM SPEED COUPLE OF MINUTES. ADD EGGS, BEAT TO COMBINE. STIR IN ENOUGH FLOUR TO FORM A SOFT DOUGH. (DOUGH WILL BE STICKY)

TURN DOUGH ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE KNEED UNTIL

SMOOTH AND ELASTIC, FEW MINUTES. PLACE IN A GREASED BOWL. TURN, ONCE TO GREASE THE TOP. COVER AND LET RISE IN WARM PLACE UNTIL DOUBLED HR. AT LEAST.

PUNCH DOWN DOUGH. TURN ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE.

DIVIDE INTO ROLLS THEY SAY 24, BUT, I GOT 15. SHAPE INTO ROLLS. PLACE IN A GREASED 13X9 BAKING PAN. I USE A LE CRUESET STONEWARE ALWAYS DOES GOOD JOB. DARKER PANS WILL COOK FASTER AND BE MORE BROWN. LET ROLLS RISE IN WARM PLACE UNTIL ALMOST DOUBLED AT LEAST AN HR. WHEN THEY GO INTO A PREHEATED 375' OVEN THEY WILL RISE A TAD MORE. BAKE FOR 15-18 MINUTES

@SharkE

Oh they look absolutely perfect! And I bet they smell heavenly!

I have a dental procedure this morning and I had decided to treat Mr4kitties and myself to homemade yeast rolls tomorrow. That will be my treat for getting through it! Your recipe is very similar to mine, but I am lazy and let my bread machine make my dough. Then I take it out and shape it, let it rise again and bake them.

And I have Kerrygold butter to eat with!

@Nathan Grandma

Simple recipe had for yrs. from Taste of Home magazine that was sent in by a man, no less. LOL

OLD FASHION BREAD

2 ENVELOPES YEAST (EITHER FAST OR SLOW I'M PARTIAL TO RAPID RISE) I HAVE TO MAKE A CONFESSION I USE PLATNINUM YEAST I GET FROM EITHER WAL-MART OR AMAZON CAN'T GET IN MY PART OF TX. BEST THERE IS)

1/2 C. VERY WARM WATER (I USE 115' IN ALL MY STUFF)

1 CUP WATER

1 CUP WHOLE MILK

1/4 C. SUGAR

4 TABLESPOONS BUTTER

1 TABLESPOON SALT (I SALT TO MY OWN TASTE) LOL

8 CUPS OF FLOUR (I USE KING ARTHUR BREAD FLOUR AND KNOW BY EXPERIENCE JUST HOW MUCH TO ADD . DON'T SEEM LIKE I USE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO 6-7) BREAD IS A LEARNING THING YOU JUST PICK IT UP WITH AGE & KNOW )

ADD 1/2 C. WARM WATER TO YEAST. STIR. HEAT WATER, MILK, SUGAR, SALT AND BUTTER. I HAVE MY BUTTER ALREADY SOFTENED SO BY THE TIME YOU HEAT IT IT WILL BLEND IN WITH THE YEAST & WATER. STIR IN 4 CUPS OF FLOUR, BEAT TILL SMOOTH. MIX IN 3 MORE CUPS OF FLOUR. TURN DOUGH OUT ON FLOURED BOARD, I GOT QUARTZ COUNTERS ADD LITTLE FLOUR ON IT. KNEAD FOR A FEW MINUTES. PUT DOUGH IN GREASED BOWL, LET RISE IN WARM PLACE YOU CAN COVER I SELDOM TOO WITH THE PLATNIUM YEAST IT WILL RISE FAST. LET RISE FOR AN HR UNTIL ALMOST DOUBLED. PUNCH DOUGH DOWN, DIVIDE INTO 2 MOUNDS, ROLL EACH PIECE INTO RECTANGLE. JELLY ROLL STYLE.

PLACE IN GREASED LOAF PAN LET RISE AGAIN TILL DOUBLED IN WARM PLACE. JUST ABOUT DOUBLED. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400'

BAKE FOR 25 MINUTES. MINE I USUALLY BAKE FOR 20. DEPENDS ON YOUR OVEN. YOU CAN BUTTER THE TOP AFTER YOU BAKE IT NOT BEFORE YOU PUT IN OVEN. MAKES IT TOO BROWN LOOKS BURNT. BUTTER IT AFTER YOU TAKE OUT OF OVEN AND LET THE BUTTER GIVE IT A GLOSS.

COOL, SHOULD POP OUT OF BREAD PANS. YOU CAN ALWAYS GO AROUND IT WITH BREAD KNIFE TO LOOSEN IT UP WILL POP OUT.

@SharkE

Thank you! Funny you should mention that recipe was submitted by a man....My request for your recipe post is for my husband who bought himself a standing mixer to make bread.

Re: Bread day

SharkE — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:03:58 GMT

@Nathan Grandma

Yeah, that is funny. A good source for recipes of all kinds is KingArthur.com

The flour people.

Best mixers are SMEGS and Cuisinart. If you want to spend some pesos

LOL

Yesterday I couldn't believe it there wasn't one Pillsbury product on the shelves. Refrigerated case was empty ! I thought thank the Lord I can make my own bread, rolls, biscuits. My sister said it was because of the Super Bowl. Hope he does good !
