Amazingly Easy Yeast Rolls (Perfect for Beginners)

This is the roll recipe that really gave me the confidence to work with yeast. It is very hard to mess up and there is very little kneading. It’s a soft, slightly sweet, dense roll that can also be used as a cinnamon roll base.

 

Amazingly Easy Yeast Rolls {adapted from All Recipes}

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 5 cups all purpose flour plus  more if needed later
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

Directions:

Heat milk, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan over low heat until warm (about 120 degrees), remove from heat and mix in the eggs and yeast.

Place 5 cups of flour in a large lidded bowl. I usually use one of my slow cooker liners because I don’t have a bowl with a lid that’s large enough. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm liquid and yeast mixture. Do not stir. Cover with the lid and let sit 20-30 minutes.

Pour in the melted butter and mix well. Add flour if sticky until a soft but no longer sticky dough is formed. Knead several times. Place back into bowl and cover again with lid. Let the dough sit for another 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into 12-16 pieces depending on how large you want your final roll. Shape into balls and place on baking sheet(s) cover with a damp tea towel or a greased piece of plastic wrap and let rise 20-30 minutes.

Bake for 15 minutes or until done.
