Dinner Rolls

Remember these?????

Yup they are as yummy as they look!

I am FINALLY getting around to posting the recipe for those who wanted it! Sorry I am so slow! 

I got the recipe from my favorite cookbook, Our Best Bites. If you don't have this cookbook you need to get it right now! I have used this cookbook more than any other book I own. The recipes are simple and delicious. 

What you will need is:

                            2 cups WHOLE MILK

                                    *Whole milk is essential the the lightness and flavor

                            1/2 Cup +1 Tablespoon sugar, divided

                            1/3 Cup Butter

                            2 teaspoon Kosher salt

                            2 packages (4.5 teaspoons) active dry or bread machine yeast

                            2/3 cup warm water

                            8-9 cups all-purpose flour, divided

                                     *I used whole wheat flour and I only needed 7 cups

                             3 beaten eggs

Steps: 

              1. Combine milk, 1/2 Cup sugar, butter and salt in a pan. Heat until the butter melts. (Taste   this... It's yummy)

              2. Allow this yummy mixture to cool until it is lukewarm. This step is important because if it is to hot it will kill the yeast.

              3. While the mixture is cooling, dissolve the yeast and 1 Tablespoon sugar in warm water. Let stand for about 10 mins. If the yeast hasn't bubbled, you will need to redo this step.

              4. In a large bowl, Combine 3 Cup flour and milk mixture. Beat on low for 30 seconds. Add Yeast mixture and beat on high for 3 minutes. Add beaten eggs. 

               5. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough. The dough should be very soft and coming away from the sides of the bowl, but still stick to your fingers. If you add to much flour the rolls will become very heavy and dense.  Place the bowl in a warm place, cover with a clean towel. Allow to rise for 1 hour

               6. Punch down dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Spray your glass pans with cooking spray. Roll first portion of dough into a rectangle and cut it into 12 equal-sized pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place it in the pan.

               7.  After all the dough pieces are in the pan, cover with a clean cloth and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F

               8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown

               9. After your remove from the oven, rub the rolls with a cold stick of butter

Go ahead and eat a few when they are fresh out the oven! You won't regret it, I promise! :)
