GRANNY FOSTER'S REFRIGERATOR ROLLS

Sara Foster uses this dough to create a variety of sweet breakfast pastries, including sticky orange-coconut pinwheels and killer pecan sticky buns.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking.
  • To make the rolls ahead of time, shape them and place them on a baking sheet. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes 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, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • You can use any type of milk in this recipe, but whole milk will give the rolls the richest flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These rolls are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Refrigerator rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a quick snack or a hearty meal.
