List of Ingredients
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 slightly beaten egg
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour -- (3 1/2 to 4)
3 tablespoons butter -- melted
Recipe
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Combine milk, the 1/4 cup butter or margarine, the sugar, and salt
in a medium saucepan. Heat and stir until just warm (115 degrees F to
120 degrees F) and butter or margarine almost melts.
3. Combine yeast mixture, warmed milk mixture, and egg in a large
bowl. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the flour as you can.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough
of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth
and elastic. This will take 3 to 5 minutes. Shape dough into a ball.
Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease entire surface
of the dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place about 1-1/2 hours or
until double.
5. Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll each half of dough
until 1/4 inch thick. Using a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut
into rounds. Brush with the 3 tablespoons melted butter.
6. To shape rolls, use a wooden spoon handle to make a slightly
off-center crease in each round. Fold the larger portion of each roll
over the smaller portion, overlapping slightly; press folded edge
firmly. Place rolls 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover;
let rise about 30 minutes or until nearly doubled.
7. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
Immediately remove rolls from baking sheets. Serve warm. Makes about
18 rolls.
Make-Ahead Tip: Before proofing shaped rolls, loosely cover with
plastic wrap, leaving room for rolls to rise. Chill for at least 2
hours or up to 24 hours. Uncover; let stand at room temperature for 30
minutes. Bake and serve as directed above.
