Logan's Roadhouse Style Rolls
Serves 16
Directions
- 1Add a quarter cup of warm water to a large bowl.
- 2Add one tablespoon of active dry yeast.
- 3Add a little bit of sugar to help wake up the yeast.
- 4Stir the yeast mixture and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it gets foamy.
- 5While the yeast wakes up, combine one cup of whole milk and a quarter cup of salted butter.
- 6Microwave the milk and butter mixture until the butter is just melted, not boiling hot.
- 7Add the butter-milk mixture to the yeast mixture.
- 8Add one large egg.
- 9Add a quarter cup of sugar.
- 10Add three and a half cups of bread flour.
- 11Mix it all together until it forms a shaggy dough.
- 12Knead the dough by hand until it looks very smooth, soft, and stretchy.
- 13Wipe out the bowl and give it a little bit of oil.
- 14Flip the dough over once or twice to coat it.
- 15Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about one hour until it's doubled in size.
- 16Punch down the doubled-up dough.
- 17Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- 18Portion out the dough into about 16 equal portions by weighing the dough and dividing by 16.
- 19Shape each dough portion by simply pushing the edges up underneath itself to create a round top.
- 20Evenly space the shaped rolls in a buttered baking dish.
- 21Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rest and rise until they are fluffy and soft for about another hour.
- 22Bake the rolls at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-18 minutes.
- 23Once out of the oven, brush them with some butter.
