Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Scald milk, then pour over sugar, melted butter, and salt; let cool to lukewarm.
- Add the yeast mixture to the cooled milk mixture.
- Beat eggs and add to the mixture.
- Gradually beat in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Place dough in a greased bowl; brush top with melted fat and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Shape the dough into buns and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, make sure your milk is just lukewarm when combined with the other ingredients to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have bread flour, all-purpose flour can work as a substitute. You can also experiment with adding spices like cinnamon for a flavorful twist. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour gradually until you reach a soft consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These Yum Yum Rolls are delightful served warm, perhaps with a spread of butter or honey. They pair wonderfully with soups and salads or can be enjoyed as a sweet snack with coffee or tea. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a hearty dish like Cheese And Beefaroni With Biscuit. They also make a great breakfast option with jam or preserves.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled Yum Yum Rolls in an airtight container. They can last at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This will help revive their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but you can skip the step of dissolving it in warm water. Simply mix it directly with the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients.
What should I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to the yeast being inactive. Ensure that your yeast is fresh and the water is not too hot or cold. Additionally, try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area to encourage rising. If it still doesn't rise, it may be best to start over with new yeast.
Can I freeze Yum Yum Rolls?
Absolutely! To freeze Yum Yum Rolls, let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven until warm.
