Name: Sour Cream Fan Rolls
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
Ingredients: 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup sugar; 2 tablespoons active dry yeast; 1-1/2 teaspoons salt; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 2 cups sour cream; 1 cup water; 6 tablespoons butter, cubed; 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

I received this recipe from an email pen pal in Canada. The dough is so easy to work with, and it makes the lightest yeast rolls. I haven't used another white bread recipe since I started making this one. -Carrie Ormsby, West Jordan, Utah

Ingredients

7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups sour cream
1 cup water
6 tablespoons butter, cubed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and baking powder. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water and butter to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. 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. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 23x9-in. rectangle. Cut into 1-1/2-in. strips. Stack five strips together; cut into 1-1/2-in. pieces and place cut side up in a greased muffin cup. Repeat with remaining strips. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.

These rolls are a family favorite. I have found they bake best for me as small rolled balls in two 9X13 baking dishes. They taste even better with a sprinkle of Asiago Cheese baked on top.

This was a denser roll than I expected, but still good. Next time I'm going to make these into a loaf of bread instead of rolls though.
