Cuisine American
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Rise Time 3 hours


Ingredients  

  • 2 tbs dry yeast heaping
  • 1/3 cup warm water 110-115 degrees
  • 9 cups flour (use any mixture of white or whole-wheat flour)
  • 2 cups warm milk 110-115 degrees
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3-4 tbs butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • To the yeast, add 4 cups flour, 2 cups milk, 1 cup melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt and use and beat for 2 minutes, or until smooth.
  • Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto floured board and knead lightly. (Or, knead in mixer until sides of bowl are clean, then knead two more minutes.)
  • Form dough into a tight ball and place in a greased bowl, turning dough once to grease top.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (1-3 hours).
  • After dough has risen, punch it down and divide into four equal parts.
  • Roll each of the 4 parts into a 12-inch “circle”disk” and brush with melted butter.
  • Cut each disk into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
  • Roll up each wedge from the wide (outside) edge to the tip of dough and pinch to seal.
  • Place rolls, top down, on baking sheets and freeze.
  • When frozen, place in freezer bags and keep frozen until needed.

TO BAKE:

  • Take out as many frozen rolls as you’ll need and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  • Thaw for five hours or until doubled in size.
  • Bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • Serve immediately or cool on wire racks.
