Mary Verbos' Famous Dinner Rolls
| Ingredients | |
1 |
Packet of dry yeast |
1/4 |
Cup of warm water |
3/4 |
Cup of lukewarm milk -- scalded and then cooled |
1/4 |
Cup of sugar |
1 |
Teaspoon of salt |
1 |
Egg |
1/4 |
Cup of soft butter |
3 1/2 |
Cups of flour -- you can use more flour but no more than 3 3/4 Cups total |
| Directions | |
| Preheat the oven to 400 ºF | |
| In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water | |
| Stir in the remaining ingredients adding only enough flour to handle easily | |
| Place the dough onto a lightly floured board | |
| Knead it until it is smooth and elastic | |
Note: |
If you have a Kitchenaid mixer, you can add all the ingredients instead of mixing and kneading by hand |
| Place the dough in a greased bowl then turn the dough over so that the greased side is up | |
| Place a damp cloth to cover the bowl then place the bowl in a warm place to let it rise to about double its size -- about 1 1/2 hours | |
| Punch down the dough and cover it to let it rise again to double its size -- about 30 minutes | |
| Shape the dough into dinner roll size pieces and place in a greased baking sheet | |
| Let the rolls rise for 20 minutes | |
| Bake in the oven until lightly browned -- about 12 - 15 minutes | |
| Set tha pan onto a cooling rack or serve it warm |
