School Hot Rolls

 

This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to recreate those cherished flavors from the school cafeteria.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 24 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 cups warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well using a dough hook or by hand to combine.
  3. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until all the flour is incorporated.
  4. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes with a mixer or 12-15 minutes by hand.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a round roll.
  7. Second Rise: Place the shaped rolls on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for a soft, shiny finish. Serve the rolls warm.
