Pam'S Rolls
Pam's Rolls are soft, buttery bread rolls perfect for breakfast or dinner, offering a warm, comforting flavor with a light, fluffy texture that suits family gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scald milk with butter or margarine; cool to warm, but not hot.
- Add sugar, salt, and yeast to the mixture.
- Stir in 2 cups of flour. Add beaten egg, then remaining flour.
- Form into a ball on a floured surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball.
- Put in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly. If you don't have fresh yeast, you can substitute with active dry yeast, using about 1 packet for this recipe. Kneading is crucial, so take your time to develop the gluten for a light, airy roll. Consider adding herbs or spices into the dough for extra flavor, as in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Pam's Rolls are delightful when served warm, slathered with butter or alongside a savory dish like Mama'S Barbecue Sauce. They make a wonderful accompaniment to soups or salads, and for a sweet twist, try them with jam or honey. These rolls also pair beautifully with Zucchini Fruit Cake for a charming brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, allow them to thaw at room temperature and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but you might need to adjust the liquid slightly as whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture. Start with 3 cups of whole wheat and 1 cup of all-purpose flour to maintain a good texture.
What should I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it could be due to inactive yeast. Ensure your yeast is fresh and check the temperature of the milk; it should be warm, not hot. If the dough is too cold, place it in a warm area to encourage rising.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To make your rolls sweeter, you can increase the sugar to 1/2 cup or add some honey or maple syrup to the dough. Additionally, consider brushing them with melted butter and sprinkling sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.
