I like to cook. And I like to invent my own recipes. And I like to try other people’s recipes. And now I’m going to share them with you.

 

BIRDIE’S SWEET DINNER ROLLS

 

INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup            white sugar

4                      eggs, beaten

 

1 cup               milk, scalded

¾ cup              melted butter (1 ½ sticks)

 

1 cup               warm water (110° degrees)

½ cup              white sugar

2 packs            active dry yeast

 

7+ cups           bread flour, sifted

2 tsp                salt

 

2 TBS              olive oil

2 TBS              melted butter

 

DIRECTIONS

• Crack eggs into a mixer bowl and set mixer to whip on low, increasing speed slowly.
• Scald milk in pourable measuring cup; set aside.
• Melt butter in pourable measuring cup; set aside.
• Heat water until warm to the touch. Add sugar and stir, then add yeast and stir. Set in warm place. (I set it in the microwave.)
• Add sugar to eggs. Continue whisking.
• Slowly add milk. Continue whisking.
• Remove yeast from microwave and slowly add to egg mixture. Continue whisking.
• Stop mixer and add 1 cup of flour and the salt. Continue mixing on low speed.
• Continue adding flour, 1 cup at a time, until your mixer will no longer handle the gluten.
• Continue adding flour and mix by hand.
• Turn onto a well-floured surface and knead for several minutes.
• Grease a large bowl with the oil. Place dough in the bowl, smooth side down, then turn so the smooth side is on top.
• Let rise for 30 – 40 minutes in a warm, damp place. rem trick: I set a 2 cup glass dish in the microwave for 3 – 5 minutes while I’m preparing the dough, creating a perfect environment to proof the dough.)

• Turn dough onto the well-floured surface and knead for several minutes, being sure to let it stretch.
• Divide dough evenly into 24 rolls, kneading each one gently before placing on a baking sheet, smooth side up.

• Let the rolls rise another 30 – 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°
• Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter over the top of the rolls and place in oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
• Optional: Brush with another 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

 

Serve with butter and honey or jelly.
