DIVAS CAN COOK GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE YEAST ROLLS
No kneading or a bread machine is required with this recipe which makes it great for people who normally can't bake yeasty things (like me). Around the holidays, my grandmother's phone starts ringing off the hook from friends wanting her to make them a batch of these rolls for their holiday spread. If only they knew just how easy these soft, buttery yeast rolls were to make. Well, now you do! *NOTE*NOTE* If you using Rapid Rise "Highly active" yeast skip the refrigeration step and let the dough rise in a covered bowl for 10 -15 minutes in a warm place. Proceed with the rest of the recipe. Highly active yeast replaces the first rise.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
- Use bread flour or all-purpose flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will result in a chewier roll. However, you can use all-purpose flour if you don't have bread flour on hand.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: Kneading the dough develops the gluten in the flour, which will make the rolls chewy and strong.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
- Shape the rolls into any shape you like: You can make classic round rolls, crescent rolls, or even braided rolls.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls should be baked at a high temperature so that they develop a crispy crust.
