Mom’s Homemade Rolls

Step 1

Beat the ingredients in the large bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add the yeast mixture to the small bowl. Stir in the 8 to 10 cups of flour 1 cup at a time. You will know you have enough flour when the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, it should still be sticky. Pour some more flour onto a flat clean surface and knead into a soft dough, adding flour as needed.

Step 2

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Knead again, then place into a bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Cover and raise for 1 hour.

Step 4

Punch down the dough and let raise 10 more minutes.

Step 5

Roll out dough and break off sections to form into small rolls. They should be about half the size you would like your finished roll to be.

Step 6

Place rolls in a pan or cookie sheet and raise again for about 15 to 20 minutes. They shouldn't be touching before raising, but should be after raising.

Step 7

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
