How To Buttery Make Homemade Rolls
To start pour yeast into a large bowl with warm water. Mix until the yeast is dissolved and then cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
Then in another bowl add in your sugar, butter and salt, into the hot milk. Allow it to cool for a few minutes till it is around 105 degrees.
Then add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture, along with the egg. Mix the flour in one cup at a time, until it becomes a soft dough.
Then on a floured surface, you want to knead the dough lightly for five minutes.
Next, spray a bowl with cooking spray, and put the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to sit for an hour to an hour and a half, to it can rise.
The dough will double in size, after it sits. You want to punch it down and knead for another five minutes. Then begin to pinch off small chunks of dough to form balls (1 3/4 inches-2 inch size) for your hot rolls.
Place in a greased 9×13 size pan and allow to rise for about 45 minutes or until the rolls have doubled in size.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes. Brush with butter and serve warm.
