Unbelievable Rolls

Today my cousin Hannah and I made some amazing rolls. 
It was a fun yet interesting adventure. 


First, you need to place the water, milk, sugar and salt on the stove top and heat it until the sugar is dissolved.




Then, you will want to put the heated water mixture in a separate bowl. Add the eggs and the yeast and mix well. 

Next, put the flour in another separate bowl, put the flour in and make a well. Pour the milk mixture into the well, like so:








After this you will want to wait 20-30 minutes until it looks sort of like this:




Oooh....poofy!!!


After it has sat and looked like the picture above, add the melted butter,

and add it to the flour and milk mixture.

 Now you can just mix it, mix it, mix it. I used a wooden spoon. You can use a dough hook on a KitchenAid or just use your hands. 



Once you have mixed it, turn it out and knead it lightly. Put in a lightly greased bowl. Allow to rise for 20-30 minutes. 


Now you can actually make the rolls.

Turn the oven on at 400 F and divide the dough into roll sized dough balls. Put the dough balls into a greased pan. I used a variety of pan sizes, but normally I use a 9x13.
 

These are some sad photos, but they are supposed to be in for about 12-17 minutes. They are supposed to be golden brown on top.
Here is the recipe:


Unbelievable Rolls
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 3/4 c. water
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt

  2. After heated through, put the milk mixture in a separate bowl. 
  3. Add yeast and eggs and mix well. 
  4. Put flour in another separate bowl and make a well inside. 
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour well. DO NOT MIX. 
  6. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. 
  7. Add melted butter and mix all ingredients. 
  8. Let sit for another 20-30 minutes. 
  9. Shape the dough into about 16 rolls. 
  10. OPTIONAL: You CAN allow to sit for another 20 minutes. I don't
  11. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Put rolls in a greased 9"x13" pan.

OPTIONAL: You can make these sourdough, by adding sourdough starter when you add the butter. add 1/2 c. flour and 1/2 c. of sourdough starter.
