Serves: 18 rolls
 
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup butter - melted + 3 tablespoons butter for brushing on rolls before baking
Instructions
  1. Pour warm water (110 - 115 degrees) into a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Let sit for about 5 minutes to make sure your yeast is working.
  2. Add half the *flour, salt and butter. Add egg, start the mixer on medium speed and beat until smooth.
  3. Add the rest of the flour and mix about 3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down batter from sides of bowl, cover bowl with wax paper and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Punch down and let rise a second time until doubled. (You can do only 1 rise if you are short on time.)
  4. Meanwhile, grease 1 1/2 dozen large muffin cups. Stir down batter, scoop with an ice cream scoop into the muffin cups filling 1/2 full. Let rise in warm place until batter reaches tops of muffin cups, 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Brush with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until brown in oven at 325 degrees. Remove from pan and serve.
  6. Note: The rolls as pictured had an additional 1/2 cup flour so that the dough wasn't as soft. To make cloverleaf rolls as shown, roll dough into long roll about 15 inches long and cut into slices 1/4 inch wide. Roll into balls and place 3 balls in each muffin cup.
  7. * Stir the salt into the flour as salt can kill the yeast.
