SWEET YEAST ROLLS

Sweet Yeast Rolls image

This is a simple yeast roll recipe from a dear friend who now lives in Maine. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can lessen the amount of sugar to get a less sweet dinner roll. I like to make them a little bigger and use them for hamburger buns. These make the house smell so good :)

SWEET BLUEBERRY YEAST ROLLS (BREADMAKER)

Sweet Blueberry Yeast Rolls (Breadmaker) image

Bread is one of my favorite foods to bake. I often bake bread from scratch, as well as create variations on dinner rolls, sweet rolls, etc. In this recipe, I use my breadmaker and "ready-made" preserves to save time in the kitchen. This is a recipe you can substitute with your favorite "preserve" instead of the blueberries -...

Ingredients

3 c ap (all purpose) flour
2/3 c milk, warm
5 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 c sugar
4 tsp instant yeast (saf)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 c blueberry preserves
GLAZE:
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp almond extract
2 -3 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

1. Breadmaker Dough Cycle: Add the liquids (milk, melted butter, beaten eggs to breadmaker container; add flour, sugar, and salt. Then make a well in center of flour and add yeast (or layer according to your manufacturer's directions). Select your dough cycle. I use the short dough cycle.
2. When dough cycle is complete roll out the dough on a pastry board into a rectangle 14" x 17". Spread blueberry preserves on dough leaving a small edge on all sides of dough. Roll the long top edge toward you as in a jellyroll style. You have to lift as you roll because of the filling. Turn to have seam on bottom and seal.
3. Cut into 11/2 inch slices (approximately 10 - 12). Place in greased 13" x 9" baking dish with filling side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 45 minutes). Bake at 350 degrees for 18 - 22 minutes or until golden brown and center is cooked through.
4. Glaze: Mix together until smooth the powdered sugar, almond extract (or your preference flavor), melted butter and milk. Drizzle over blueberry sweet rolls.

SWEET YEAST ROLLS (VEGAN)

Sweet Yeast Rolls (Vegan) image

This is my favorite bread recipe. The rolls have a soft crust and are slightly sweet and yeasty. They are especially good straight from the oven but also keep well for a few days. I like to brush them with agave nectar instead of the margarine/oil to make them a bit sweeter. If you eat honey, that could work too. This recipe is adapted slightly from the Soft Sandwich Bread recipe at http://www.vegan-food.net/. Prep time includes preparation and rising times.

Time 3h10m

Yield 12 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups rice milk or 2 cups soymilk
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup oil, plus 1 T extra for brushing
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 t extra
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
5 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon agave nectar (optional)

Steps:

Heat rice/soy milk to scalding. Pour into a bowl with the margarine/oil, 1/2 cup of sugar and salt.
In another bowl combine the water, yeast and 1/4 t sugar and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
After the soy milk mixture has cooled, add the yeast mixture. Then add 1/2 cup flour and beat about 200 times. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Add 4 cups flour and beat well, then begin to mix with your hands. Add about 1 more cup flour or enough to produce a consistency of dough that can be turned out onto a floured board. Knead for 5 minutes.
Put dough into a well-oiled bowl and let rise for 1 hour. Punch down and form about 12 rolls. Place them on an oiled cookie sheet and allow to rise for 1/2 hour.
Bake at 375F for about 20 minutes or until the bottoms are brown and the tops are beginning to turn golden brown. Brush with margarine/oil/agave nectar.

Tips:

Use fresh active dry yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce a good rise.
Proof the yeast in warm milk or water before using. This will help to activate the yeast and ensure a good rise.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and produce a light and fluffy roll.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the rolls are light and airy.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the rolls are cooked evenly.
Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will help to give the rolls a golden brown crust.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the rolls from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Sweet yeast rolls are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just for a quick snack, these rolls are sure to be a hit. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make delicious sweet yeast rolls at home.
