Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for bowl and tin
1 1/4 cups warm (about 110 degrees) milk
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Butter a large bowl and a 12-cup standard muffin tin; set aside. Stir together 1/2 cup milk and the yeast in a bowl. Let stand until foamy, 5 minutes.
  • Bring remaining 3/4 cup milk to a simmer in a medium pan. Remove from heat. Add 6 tablespoons butter, the sugar, and salt; stir until butter melts. Set aside.
  • Put 4 1/2 cups flour into the bowl of an electric mixer. Make a well in the center, and pour in yeast mixture, butter mixture, and the eggs. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix on low speed until dough just comes together, about 2 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes, adding remaining cup flour as needed. Transfer to buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; let rest 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half; cover half with a towel. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining half to 1/4 inch thick. Cut to 12 by 9 1/2 inches, discarding scraps. Position short side of dough parallel to counter's edge. Cut crosswise into six 2-inch strips. Cut strips crosswise into 3 1/2-inch, 3 1/4-inch, and 2 3/4-inch pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Brush all pieces of dough with melted butter; reserve some for brushing tops. Center and stack pieces from each strip, largest to smallest (you will have 6 stacks). Fold each stack in half lengthwise; fit, folded edge down, into a prepared muffin cup, making a V. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm, draft-free place 30 minutes. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Brush melted butter over top of each roll. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with more melted butter; serve hot or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rolls turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right.

I thought these rolls were just okay. The turkey was a little dry and the stuffing was a bit bland. I wouldn't make them again.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but these rolls were actually really good. The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the stuffing was delicious.

These rolls were a total disaster! The turkey was raw in the middle and the stuffing was burnt. I will never make these again.

Meh. I wasn't impressed with these rolls. The turkey was tough and the stuffing was bland.

Not bad! I thought the turkey was a little dry, but the stuffing was really good. I'll try them again and see if I can get the turkey more moist.
