LIGHT AND FLUFFY YEAST ROLLS



Light and Fluffy Yeast Rolls image

After a long attempt to recreate the infamous yeast rolls of O'Charleys, I was able to get close. This is the result of a few years of trying to find out how they do it. If you've never heard of the place, I guarantee you will still LOVE these rolls! (Note: I doubled this recipe and was able to make enough to feed two very hungry families over Thanksgiving... just so you know!)

CLASSIC LIGHT ROLLS



Classic Light Rolls image

This yeast dough is simple to make, but it needs to rise for about 3 hours total (before and after cutting into rounds), so plan accordingly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup warm water (about 105 degrees)
1/2 cup sugar, plus a pinch
1 package active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for bowl and plastic wrap
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, plus 1 egg for glaze
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the warm water, a pinch of sugar, and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 6 minutes.
  • Attach the bowl to electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. With machine speed on low, add milk, butter, remaining sugar, salt, and 2 lightly beaten eggs. Gradually add enough flour to form a sticky but manageable dough. Transfer the dough to a large buttered bowl; cover tightly with buttered plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Line 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn out dough onto a floured work surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds of dough as closely together as possible. Place rounds 1/4 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover with buttered plastic wrap. Let rolls rise until they are light and do not spring back when pressed with your fingertip, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly beat remaining egg with the water. Brush mixture on tops of rounds; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until rolls are golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Old-Fashioned Yeast Rolls image

This recipe is one of our family traditions. We don't know how old it is, but it is at least Depression Era (no milk, no eggs). It was handed down from my Grandma Pearl Nash. She never wrote down the recipe, always measured by memory and her hands. She developed breast cancer in the early 60's and shortly before she died. My Daddy asked her to measure out all the ingredients so the recipe would not be lost. He carried her into the kitchen, where she carefully placed the ingredients on newsprint paper. My mama (who my kids called Tutu) shifted the ingredients into measuring cups and spoons to record the amounts.

Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups warm water
1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
¾ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
7 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in sugar and salt until you see foam rising. Add 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening; mix with the dough hook until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
  • Fill a pot with hot (not boiling) water.
  • Remove the mixer bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Place the bowl over the pot of hot water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and gradually mix in remaining 4 cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to add up to 1 additional cup.
  • Heavily grease two 9x13-inch pans with shortening.
  • Divide dough into 24 balls. Place 12 balls into each of the prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour; balls will start out at about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter over top.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To make sure the rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These light and low-cal yeast rolls are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional yeast rolls. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual dinner to a special holiday meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have fresh, homemade rolls that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're craving a roll, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
