Soft and Simple Dinner Rolls

These rolls are so light and soft.

You can bet they wont sit for long

in the bread basket.

I usually have to double this

recipe in order to make sure

I have enough for everyone to

have a couple.

 

Soft and Simple Dinner Rolls

1 packet Active Dry Yeast~ *I use Red Star

1 Cup Warm water

1/2 Cup Sugar~ I use Domino Sugar

3 Eggs~ beaten

1/2 Cup Butter~ melted

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Orange Zest

4 Cups All Purpose Flour~ I use GoldMedal Flour

 

Place the yeast in with the warm water,

let set for about 5 minutes. (since there is more

water than yeast, it will look watery)

In your mixing bowl combine the sugar,

eggs, butter, salt and orange zest.

Add in the yeast, and flour.

Place dough in an air tight container

or cover with plastic wrap.

Leave in a warm area, for about 2 hours

or until it doubles in size.

Punch down dough and roll out

onto a floured surface. I roll my dough out into

a large circle, then using a pizza cutter, cut into

smaller triangles. Roll each triangle starting

from the largest end first. Tuck the small

end underneath to seal. Place onto a

lightly greased baking sheet.

Lightly cover with a towel to let the dough

rise a second time. The second rising usually

goes by quicker, about 20 minutes.

While they are raising, preheat your

oven to 375 degree's.

Bake for 20-24 minutes.

The hardest part of this whole

recipe is the few minutes after you pull

these little rolls out of the oven, and you

have to wait for dinner in order to eat one!

HAPPY BAKING,
