Dinner Rolls
- 14 cup warm water
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packets active dry yeast
- 1 12 cups skim milk, warm
- 12 cup light butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 12 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Place warm water in a small bowl; stir in yeast and sugar, and let stand until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, butter, salt, and 2 eggs.
- Whisk in yeast mixture when it's foamy.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft, shaggy dough.
- The dough will be sticky, but resist the urge to add more flour: too much flour will result in overly dense rolls.
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic (at least 5 minutes).
- The dough will stick to your fingers, which is a sign that it's exactly the consistency you want.
- Using a butter spray, line the inside of a large bowl; the bowl needs to be large enough to allow the dough to expand to double its size.
- Place dough in bowl, turning to coat in butter spray.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
- Let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, at least 1 hour.
- If you want a more rich flavor - and you have the time - seal the bowl securely with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- This will deepen the flavor of the rolls.
- Use non-stick canola oil spray to line the compartments of muffin pans.
- Divide dough into quarters.
- Roll each into a tube that's about 1 inch in diameter.
- Cut into 1 inch pieces and roll each into the shape of a ball.
- Arrange dough balls in the compartments of the muffin pans.
- Cover pans loosely with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until rolls have doubled in size.
- This will take at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, beat remaining egg until blended; brush onto rolls.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds onto rolls if desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate pans 180 degrees.
- Bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown.
