Dave's Yeast Rolls

Recipe #210418 | 2¼ hours | 2 hours prep | add private note

This is a simple recipe that I have experimented with over time and it produces absolutely WONDERFUL yeast rolls without having to spend a ton of time. My total active time is about a half hour (not including allowing the bread machine to do the kneading work and allowing for rising). I use a bread machine to knead the dough but you could do it by hand too. If you use the bread machine, you will need a large capacity breadmaker and will want to use the "sweet dough" setting. Put ingredients in your bread machine in the order listed.

SERVES 24 , 24 rolls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    FORMING THE ROLLS. The recipe will make 24 rolls. To get even sized rolls, I cut the dough in half on a cutting board, then divide evenly again to 4 pieces, and once more to get 8 lumps of dough. I then form each piece into a log shape and cut 3 even bits of dough from each of 8 lumps (gets me my 24 and keeps them even sized).
  2. 2
    Forming each individual roll is an art you'll have to practice. I keep a small bowl of flour available to "dip and flip" each bit of dough into to make it easy to form. Take the bit of dough, form a circle with your fingers using the index finger and thumb, then with the other hand push the bit of dough up from the bottom through your finger circle, tightening it up so you have to force the dough through. This will stretch and smooth the ball. Repeat this several times, rotating the dough ball each time, then pinch the formed ball off at the bottom.
  3. 3
    Place the formed rolls in a greased pan (I grease with real butter) evenly spaced. I use a dark cookie sheet and evenly space the rolls 4 in a row.
  4. 4
    Cover and let the formed rolls rise in a warm spot for about an hour (until about double in size). I preheat my oven to 350 and set the rolls on the stove top after covering for my nice warm space.
  5. 5
    After allowing to rise, bake for about 14 minutes at 350 (or until medium browned on top).
  6. 6
    Remove and very lightly baste with melted butter, cover and let cool.
  7. 7
    You won't taste a better yeast roll!

This was my very FIRST try using yeast to make rolls. If I must say, I actually did great and it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. My Alabama born MiL was the roll maker in the family and she never wrote it down....and I never asked...my bad. My husband wants me to make her "clover" style rolls next time. This recipe will be a new tradition at the holidays this year, I guarantee it!!!

    I must tell you these are the best rolls I have ever made. My family devours these everytime I make them. I actually formed these into mini loaves of bread and they came out very good also. I froze what I was not going to eat right away and now I take out a loaf, pop it into a warm over and it is like I just made them. Simply wonderful.

    Excellent recipe. I have made this 5 times in last 7 days! I made some into cinnamon rolls and they were great also. I made mini loafs of bread which was delish toasted. Tomorrow I am making dumplings out of the dough for chicken and dumplings and I am sure it will be wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe.
