Yeast Knot Rolls

This roll recipe makes a wonderful side dinner roll. They are fluffy on the outside yet have a crisp outside.—Diane Werner, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

32 ServingsPrep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/3 cup sugar, divided
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in warm milk;
let stand for 5 minutes. Add the butter, salt, egg yolks, remaining
sugar and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining
flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate egg white.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic,
about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease
the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until
doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into
fourths. Roll each portion into a log and cut each log into eight
equal-sized pieces.
To form knots, roll each piece into a 10-in. rope; tie into a knot.
Tuck ends under. Place all rolls on one large greased baking sheet.
