(After Church) Angel Rolls
Soft, buttery angel rolls with a slightly sweet flavor, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings, offering a tender texture and warm, comforting aroma.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add sugar, salt, and scalded milk to the eggs.
- Stir in the dissolved yeast, cooking oil, and unsifted flour until well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the milk is scalded properly to activate the yeast effectively. If you're out of cooking oil, melted butter can be a great substitute. You can also use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a chewier texture. If you're short on time, let the dough rise at room temperature for a quicker option instead of refrigerating overnight.
Serving Suggestions
These angel rolls are perfect for brunch or as a side for dinner. Serve them warm with butter or alongside a hearty soup. They pair beautifully with dishes like Cheesy Orzo or even Country Club Pumpkin Pie for a delightful meal. Consider offering them with a selection of jams or honey for a sweet touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in a warm oven for about 5-10 minutes, ensuring they stay soft and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight. This improves the flavor and texture of the rolls. Just ensure it’s well covered to prevent drying out, and allow it to come to room temperature before baking.
What if my rolls don't rise?
If your rolls don’t rise, it could be due to inactive yeast. Always check the expiration date on your yeast package and ensure your water is warm, not hot. If your kitchen is cold, providing a warm environment can help the dough rise effectively.
Can I add ingredients like herbs or cheese?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist, or add cheese for a cheesy variant. Just remember that adding extra ingredients might slightly alter the texture, so adjust the flour accordingly if needed.
