Never Fail Yeast Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place 1 TBSP sugar, 2 TBSP water and package of yeast in a small bowl. Let this form a foam on top.
• 2. Add remaining ingrediants to a stand mixing bowl. Attach dough hook - add yeast and flour to bowl and mix.
• 3. You can immediately roll out and shape into pocketbook yeast rolls or let stand covered with cling film to rise for a couple of hours. Then knead out and make into rolls.

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle yeast over very warm water in large bowl. Stir until yeast dissolves. Leave to foam about 10 minutes.
• 2. Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter and salt to hot milk and stir until sugar dissolves and butter is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees.
• 3. Add milk mixture to yeast and then mix in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Use some of remaining 1/2 cup flour to dust a pastry cloth.
• 4. Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes. Use remaining flour for flouring pastry cloth and your hands.
• 5. Place dough in a warm, buttered bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• 6. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour as possible for flouring hands, otherwise rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be.
• 7. With large knife, cut dough ball into four (4) pieces. Cut each piece into four (4) more pieces OR simply pinch off small chunks of dough and roll into round balls about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. As you roll into balls, pull sides down and under to shape roll. Place bottom side down in neat rows, not quite touching, in well-buttered 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan.
• 8. Cover rolls and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in bulk; 30 - 45 minutes. When doubled in bulk, brush tops with melted butter and bake in 375 degree F oven for 18 - 20 minutes or until nicely browned. My oven runs hot so I usually bake @ 325 so tops do not brown before rolls are done inside. Adjust your oven temp accordingly.
• 9. If desired, brush (or bathe!) rolls in more melted butter when they are hot. The butter will sizzle down sides and bottom of rolls for a buttery soft crust.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Beat in the flour, dry cake mix and salt (do not knead). **When mixing if too dry you might want to add 1-2 tablespoons more of water at a time until you can get dough thoroughly mixed.
• Place in a greased bowl.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubles, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down.
• Divide dough in half.
• Flour the surface where you are going to roll the dough out.
• Roll each portion into a 12 inch circle.
• Cut each circle into 12 wedges.
• Roll up, beginning at the wide end.
• Place point side down on greased baking sheets.
• Brush with butter.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 4 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions. Divide and shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope; tie into a loose knot. Tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
