Hyde House Rolls

The Stuff:

½ cup butter

1 cup milk

¾ cup sugar

2 tsp yeast

1 cup warm water

3 eggs

6 cups flour

1 tsp salt

Okay, so I am about to share with you my secret roll recipe. are you ready?...this recipe will give you light fluffy yummy scrumptious rolls. OKAY THEY ARE SO YUMMY, and Buttery and delicious. Here's how you do it:

1.Put the cup of warm water in a bowl and pour the yeast in. Sprinkle with a little sugar (from the ¾ cup). Blend the eggs with the remaining sugar until creamy. 

2.Then microwave the butter and milk for 3 minutes then slowly add it to the egg mixture and blend together. Now add the yeast (it should be bubbled up)  and mix it all together together. I throw the salt in at this point and just stir it in. 

3.Then I start to add flour 2 cups at a time. I don’t have a kitchen aid, so I blend it with my hand mixer until I can’t anymore-(dough gets thick and wants to come up and make a big sticky mess) and then I use a spoon. 

To finish mixing it, I dump it all out onto my counter (which I grease and flour) and start kneading.

Knead the dough a couple times on the counter and then place in a greased bowl. 

Let it raise for at least a couple days and then transfer it to a plastic baggy and dip it in gravy. Just kidding. I let it do it's thang for 1 hour at the most and then I can't take it anymore and I have to touch it.

SO... take half of the wad of dough and roll it out like a pizza and cut it into pizza slices. 

Next: I roll them up like a crescent, place them on a greased pan and let them raise for another hour or so. Repeat this with the remaining dough until all the dough is used. 

Preheat oven to 350 and let them cook for 8-10 minutes. I like to take them out at 8 and rub butter all over them and then I put them back in just for a minute. It makes them all bubbly and delicious. They should be golden brown on top when they are done. 

Enjoy.
