Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 2 dozen 2 1/2-inch rolls

1 quarter-ounce package dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups milk
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking sheet

6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • Combine water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl; stir to combine. Let stand in a warm place until small bubbles form on the surface, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat milk, 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small saucepan over very low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Be sure not to let the mixture become hotter than 115 degrees. or it will kill the yeast. Remove from heat, and pour into a large bowl; add the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Add 6 cups flour, and stir until mixture forms a soft dough. It may be necessary to add the remaining 1/2 cup flour.

  • Lightly oil a large bowl, and place dough in bowl. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. At this point, dough may be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow dough to reach room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
  • Punch dough down, and divide equally in half. Place on a clean work surface, and cover loosely with a kitchen towel or inverted bowl. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRANDMA'S YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Yeast Rolls image

I have adapted these yeast rolls from my grandmother's yeast bread recipe. I have increased the sugar to create a little sweeter roll than Grandma used to make and replaced her refrigerated cake yeast with dried (easier availability). They are delicious served with Danish Lurpak® butter (it's a little tangy, just like Grandma's)! Rolls can be made the night before and reheated, covered in foil, at 300 degrees F for about ten minutes.

Time 2h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup white sugar, divided
1 ¾ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 ½ (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
6 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®), or as needed
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup lard, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water; let stand 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Once the yeast has foamed, stir the melted lard into the yeast, then stir the yeast mixture into the flour until a sticky dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. You may need to add additional flour to keep the dough from sticking. Once elastic, cover the dough with the mixing bowl, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with lard.
  • Cut the dough into three equal sections, then cut each section into 8 pieces. Form into balls and place into the prepared baking dish in 6 rows of 4. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.

Categories     Breads

Time 50m

Yield 2 dozen rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup warm water (105 to 115)
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast (quarter ounce package)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups milk
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus
more unsalted butter, for baking sheet
1 teaspoon salt
6 -6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
more all-purpose flour, for kneading
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl; stir to combine. Let stand in a warm place until small bubbles form on the surface, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat milk, 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small saucepan over very low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Be sure not to let the mixture become hotter than 115°, or it will kill the yeast. Remove from heat, and pour into a large bowl; add the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Add 6 cups flour, and stir until mixture forms a soft dough. It may be necessary to add the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
  • Transfer mixture to a lightly floured work surface, and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, and place dough in bowl. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. At this point, dough may be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow dough to reach room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
  • Punch dough down, and divide equally in half. Place on a clean work surface, and cover loosely with a kitchen towel or inverted bowl. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly butter a baking sheet; set aside. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter; set aside.
  • Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface until 3/4 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out about 2 dozen rolls. Place rolls on prepared baking sheet, and let rise until rolls have doubled in size, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush tops lightly with melted butter. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Be precise with measurements: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water or milk is warm enough to activate the yeast (105-115°F). If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast; if it's too cold, it won't activate properly.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and elastic: This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the rolls chewy and flavorful.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will allow the yeast to do its work and the dough to double in size. A warm, humid place is ideal for rising.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: This will ensure that the rolls are all the same size and cook evenly.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.
  • Serve the rolls warm: They're best fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored at room temperature for a few days.

Granny Knox's Refrigerator Rolls are an easy and delicious recipe that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
