Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
½ cup shortening
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup cold water
1 egg
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the shortening and sugar; stir until melted. Add cold water and let cool until lukewarm.
  • Pour milk mixture into a large bowl. Add egg and yeast; mix well. Beat in 3 cups of flour and let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Sift in baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 cup flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Divide each piece in half and form into 24 rolls. Place the rounds in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan or on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

GRANDMA'S ROLLS



Grandma's Rolls image

These are a Hill tradition at Thanksgiving - Grandma had these rolls mastered and always made it look easy. However it seems every year someone has a roll failure - no one does it like Grandma I guess. Prep time includes rising time.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h20m

Yield 40-50 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 3/8 active dry yeast (1 1/5 pkgs yeast)
2 tablespoons warm water
3 cups buttermilk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 melted shortening or 1/2 canola oil
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
5 cups flour
melted butter

Steps:

  • Mix the yeast into the warm water, then slowly add the buttermilk. Stir in 3 cups of flour - set to the side until double in size. Add the remaining ingredients -this is a fairly wet dough.
  • Put the dough into a large greased bowl - make sure to grease the top of the dough (I use cooking spray). Place plastic over the top and set aside until double again. At this stage you can also place in the refrigerator until the next day.
  • Place some flour on the counter and roll the dough out. Melt some butter in a shallow dish. Use a biscuit cutter and cut out the dough. Dip one side into melted butter, use knife to make a crease in the center, fold over pinching slightly and place on a greased jelly roll pan. Continue until pan is full - don't forget to leave a little room to let them rise. This recipe usually takes a large cookie sheet and a medium size sheet. Cover and let rise.
  • Cook for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Old-Fashioned Yeast Rolls image

This recipe is one of our family traditions. We don't know how old it is, but it is at least Depression Era (no milk, no eggs). It was handed down from my Grandma Pearl Nash. She never wrote down the recipe, always measured by memory and her hands. She developed breast cancer in the early 60's and shortly before she died. My Daddy asked her to measure out all the ingredients so the recipe would not be lost. He carried her into the kitchen, where she carefully placed the ingredients on newsprint paper. My mama (who my kids called Tutu) shifted the ingredients into measuring cups and spoons to record the amounts.

Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups warm water
1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
¾ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
7 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in sugar and salt until you see foam rising. Add 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening; mix with the dough hook until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
  • Fill a pot with hot (not boiling) water.
  • Remove the mixer bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Place the bowl over the pot of hot water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and gradually mix in remaining 4 cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to add up to 1 additional cup.
  • Heavily grease two 9x13-inch pans with shortening.
  • Divide dough into 24 balls. Place 12 balls into each of the prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour; balls will start out at about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter over top.

OLD-FASHIONED SOFT AND BUTTERY YEAST ROLLS



Old-Fashioned Soft and Buttery Yeast Rolls image

Member's Choice! There's nothing better than the aroma of fresh bread, and these buttery rolls will have your mouth watering while they bake. Hot out of the oven, they're super soft and just melt in your mouth. They'll be delicious with a holiday meal but are simple enough to prepare you'll find excuses to make the rolls.

Categories     Other Breads

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg active dry yeast (equals 2 1/4 tsp)
1/4 c warm water
1/3 c white, granulated sugar
`1/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp salt
1 c hot milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 1/2 c sifted all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp butter, melted (for brushing rolls)

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle yeast over very warm water in large bowl. Stir until yeast dissolves. Leave to foam about 10 minutes.
  • 2. Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter and salt to hot milk and stir until sugar dissolves and butter is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees.
  • 3. Add milk mixture to yeast and then mix in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Use some of remaining 1/2 cup flour to dust a pastry cloth.
  • 4. Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes. Use remaining flour for flouring pastry cloth and your hands.
  • 5. Place dough in a warm, buttered bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • 6. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour as possible for flouring hands, otherwise rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be.
  • 7. With large knife, cut dough ball into four (4) pieces. Cut each piece into four (4) more pieces OR simply pinch off small chunks of dough and roll into round balls about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. As you roll into balls, pull sides down and under to shape roll. Place bottom side down in neat rows, not quite touching, in well-buttered 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan.
  • 8. Cover rolls and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in bulk; 30 - 45 minutes. When doubled in bulk, brush tops with melted butter and bake in 375 degree F oven for 18 - 20 minutes or until nicely browned. My oven runs hot so I usually bake @ 325 so tops do not brown before rolls are done inside. Adjust your oven temp accordingly.
  • 9. If desired, brush (or bathe!) rolls in more melted butter when they are hot. The butter will sizzle down sides and bottom of rolls for a buttery soft crust.
