Description

Ingredients

• 2 [1/4 oz] packets rapid rise yeast [such as Fleischmanns]
• ¼ cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp
• 1⅓ cup of lukewarm water or milk
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• 8 Tbsp butter, divided

Directions

• In a measuring cup, dissolve both packets of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1⅓ cup of lukewarm water. If you use hot water or milk, it will kill the yeast and the bread wont rise. So, make sure the water is lukewarm not boiling.
• Let the yeast mixture sit on the counter for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom. Youll see bubbles and froth begin to gather on the top.
• In a medium size mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the egg.
• After the yeast has developed, gradually add it to the dry ingredients in the bowl, along with 5 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Begin to blend the ingredients together, using a large spoon incorporating more liquid as you go. I used a silicone spatula, and the dough didnt stick to it, making this task a lot easier.
• After incorporating all of the flour place into a buttered bowl, and cover it with a damp cloth.
• Allow the dough to sit in a warm, draft free place, covered for 1 hour to double.
• Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop, lightly sprayed with cooking spray, to separate the dough into even portions after punching it down to release the air bubbles.
• Roll into a ball in your hands then arrange side by side, in a buttered non-stick metal baking pan. I used a 10-inch spring form pan.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops. Reserve some of the melted butter to brush on the tops after the rolls come out of the oven, too.
• Cover with a damp cloth and allow the rolls to rise again until doubled. [about an hour] OR
• Bake them immediately
• To bake: Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-22 minutes.
• Serve hot.
