Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Beat the egg and add it to the mixture; stir well.

- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or shape into rolls, then bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use bread flour for a chewier texture, or substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition. Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast; it should feel warm to the touch. If you want to experiment, add herbs or cheese into the dough for extra flavor. Always let the dough rise in a warm environment for optimal results.
Serving Suggestions
These yeast rolls pair beautifully with Martha Pafford'S Chicken And Dumplings for a comforting meal. Serve them warm with butter, or use them to soak up gravy or sauce. They also make an excellent base for sliders or can be served alongside soups and salads for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm but not dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast. Simply mix it directly with the flour and skip the step of dissolving it in the liquid. This can save time and still yield fluffy rolls.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To enhance the sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup in place of some sugar. You can also brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar after baking for a sweet crust.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can incorporate herbs such as rosemary or thyme, or add shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella into the dough for a savory twist. Additionally, a teaspoon of garlic powder can add a wonderful aroma and taste.
