"THE AROMA of baked bread makes any house seem so inviting! My family loves the fragrance of these rolls as they bake, and each person has come to expect them whenever I make a special meal. After that meal, these rolls can be easily reheated and 'freshened'. Just pop them in the microwave, or put them in a moistened paper bag and then place the bag in an oven on low heat."
SERVINGS: 24
CATEGORY: Breads
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
Ingredients:
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup warm water (110°-115°)
- 1-1/4 cups warm milk (110°-115°)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Additional melted butter, optional
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add milk, butter, salt, remaining sugar, eggs and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes, adding additional flour as needed. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divided dough in half. Divided each half into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Lightly brush with melted butter if desired. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen. If Cooking for Two: Freeze baked rolls in heavy-duty freezer bags; thaw when ready to use.
