Best Overnight Soft Rolls Recipes

OVERNIGHT SOFT HERB ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over 1/4 cup cool (70°) water. Let stand until dissolved, 5 minutes. Stir in sugar, table salt, herbs, butter, whole egg, and milk; add 3 1/4 cups flour and stir to moisten. 2. Knead dough on a lightly floured board until elastic and not sticky, 15 minutes; add flour as needed to prevent sticking. Shape into 12 equal balls; place in a well-buttered 9- by 13-in. pan. 3. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Brush rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake until deep golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Make ahead: Prepare through step 2; immediately wrap airtight (do not let rise) and chill up to 1 day. Proceed with step 3.

OVERNIGHT SOFT ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-¼ cups flour, sugar and yeast.
• In a saucepan, heat the sour cream and water to 120-130 degrees F.
• Add to dry ingredients; beat until blended. Set aside and let mixture sit for 10 minutes.
• Add salt and mix thoroughly. Beat in eggs until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll out to ½-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-½-in. biscuit cutter. Using the dull edge of a knife, make an off-center crease in each roll. Fold along crease so the small half is on the top; press among folded edge.
• Place in a greased 15 x 10 x 1-in. baking pan, allowing edges to touch. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
