Ingredients

  • 1 pkg dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil (Crisco or Wesson)
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • soft margarine or butter

Instructions

  1. Dissolve yeast in a 2 1/2-quart bowl; add sugar, oil, salt, and egg.
  2. Stir until all ingredients are dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of flour until smooth.
  4. Cover with a cloth and place on a rack over a bowl of hot water; let rise for 15 minutes.
  5. Grease a roll pan (9 x 9 x 2-inch) or muffin tins with butter.
  6. Stir down the batter; add 1 1/2 cups of remaining flour.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to the touch, as this activates the yeast effectively. If you don’t have dry yeast, you can substitute with instant yeast, adjusting the activation method slightly. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough. Always knead until the dough is smooth for optimal texture.

Serving Suggestions

These yeast rolls are perfect for family dinners or gatherings and pair beautifully with Judy'S Oven Stew. Serve them warm with soft margarine or butter spread on top. They also complement soups and salads, making them versatile for any meal. Consider serving alongside Egg-Asparagus-Mushroom Casserole for a delightful brunch.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag, separating layers with parchment paper. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it after the first rise. Allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking. This makes them convenient for busy days.

What can I do if my rolls don't rise?

If your rolls don't rise, the yeast may be inactive. Ensure your yeast is fresh and the water is at the right temperature. You can also try placing the dough in a warmer area to encourage rising.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but you'll need to adjust the liquid slightly as whole wheat absorbs more moisture. A combination of both flours can also yield a delightful texture.
