Soft Yeast Rolls

Who doesn't love warm soft yeast rolls? This is a great recipe, and it yeilds around 40 rolls. The recipe can be cut in half or the rolls can be partially baked and frozen!

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Kitchen Scale
  • Electric Mixer with dough hook
  • Baking Sheets
  • Small Bowl
  • Larger Bowl
  • Oil for coating bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush
  • 10 fluid ounces of Warm Water
  • 1 ounce Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 pound 6 ounces of Bread Flour
  • 1/2 ounce salt
  • 2 ounces sugar
  • 1 ounce Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
  • 1 ounce Shortening
  • 1 ounce Unsalted Butter, Softened
  • 1 Egg
  • Egg Wash
  1. Step 1

    Combine the water and yeast in a small bowl. Stir briefly and place in a warm place until yeast is activated...the mixture will look bubbly.

  2. Step 2

    Place dry ingredients in mixer bowl and turn mixer on to lowest speed. Add shortening, butter, 1 egg, and finally the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough forms a ball and "cleans" the sides of the bowl, this should take approximately 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and place in a warm spot. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  4. Step 4

    Punch down the dough. Let it rest on a lightly floured surface 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 1 1/4 ounce portions and round into balls. Arrange on parchment lined baking sheets. Proof until double in size.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully brush the proofed rolls with egg wash. Bake until rolls are medium brown in color, approximately 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
