Homemade Yeast Rolls (Grandma Barb's BANGIN' Yeast Rolls) Recipe Video

Hot, soft and buttery describes my grandma Barb's easy, homemade yeast rolls. Yep, these rolls are so easy that even I, with my yeast roll challenged self can make them. I grew up on these rolls and knew the holidays where approaching when the phone started ringing off the hook with people calling to ask my grandma to make them a batch. She smiles big and says "why sure I will!" every time. Gosh I love her! I like to brush them with honey butter or parmesan butter right when they come out of the oven. UH-MAY-ZING!! She was excited to know that I was sharing her recipe online with others. I hope that you enjoy a little piece of our family.

Directions

GETTING READY
1. In a large bowl, add 1 1/4 cup flour & yeast. Mix with whisk until combined. Set Aside
2. In a saucepan, over medium heat, add milk, sugar and shortening.
3. Stir constantly until shortening has melted. Do not boil. Add yeast and mix.
4. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture.
5. Add in the egg and beat on low speed for 1 minute and then on high speed for 3 minutes. (this will help get them light and fluffy)
6. Put the salt and the rest of the flour (2 cups)
7. Using hands or a rubber spatula mix in the flour until a soft ball of dough forms.
8. Grease a bowl with vegetable oil and place the ball of dough into it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
9. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F when you are ready to bake.
10. Spread a thin layer of melted butter in the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan.

MAKING
11. Remove from refrigerator & punch down the dough with your fist to release the air.
12. Take a chunk of dough and form it into your desired shape.
13. Dip the dough in butter or brush on the butter, and place it into the pan.
14. Cover the pan with a thin kitchen towel and let sit in a warm place for at least 1-1 ½ hours.
15. Bake for around 14 minutes or until golden. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes.
16. Remove them from the oven and brush them with butter (use a light mixture of butter and honey).

SERVING
17. In a serving plate, serve these rolls fresh and hot with choice of main dish.

TIPS
Wait to bake the rolls until you are ready to serve your meal so they will be piping hot. The dough can wait.
