Roundup Rolls
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 yeast cakes, 2 if it's cold
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 4 to 6 eggs
- 1 cup sourdough starter, if you like the flavor
- 8 to 9 cups flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- Put butter and salt in a dough pan or a large bowl.
- Pour boiling water over the butter and salt and set aside for a few minutes to cool down a bit.
- Crumble the yeast into a small bowl, add 1/2 cup warm water, set aside for a few minutes to allow the yeast to proof.
- Add eggs to the water, butter/salt mixture and beat well.
- Add yeast mixture and mix in sourdough starter, if using.
- Stir in 5 cups flour and beat well.
- Add 3 more cups flour and mix as well as you can.
- Pour the 9th cup of flour onto a bread board or canvas.
- Knead until smooth.
- Place in a greased bowl or dough pan.
- Turn to grease the top of the bread.
- Cover and set in a warm place to rise until double.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Punch down dough and work until smooth.
- Shape into rolls and place into greased pans or Dutch ovens.
- Let rise until double and then bake 20 to 30 minutes.
- This recipe will fill 12 and 14-inch Dutch ovens.
- I have used this recipe in camp with fine success by not allowing much of a second rise.
- It will also make up nice as a sweet roll by adding raisins or nuts if you have them.
