32 Rolls
ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 3⁄4 cup butter or 3/4 cup shortening
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1⁄4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
- 4 cups unbleached flour (I use all purpose)
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 -3 tablespoons oil, approximately (I use Canola)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup melted butter (approximately)
directions
- *Prepare the night before:.
- Heat milk, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan, just until butter melts; remove from heat and cool slightly. (85 degrees).
- Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees) in large bowl of electric mixer.
- When milk mixture is lukewarm (85 degrees), beat into yeast.
- Add 2 cups flour and beat at slow, then medium speed 2 minutes. (There should be no lumps.)
- Beat in eggs; when well blended, stop mixer and scrape down beaters and bowl.
- Slowly add 1 cup flour, beating at low speed 2 minutes.
- Remove beaters, stir in 3/4 cup flour and beat with wooden spoon until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Oil a large bowl and turn dough into it, leaving room for expansion; brush top with oil and cover with plastic (wrap airtight).
- Refrigerate up to 2 days, punching down whenever double in bulk (about every 9-10 hours).
- SHAPING: Remove from refrigerator 2 1/2 to 3 hours before shaping.
- Punch dough down and beat out all air bubbles by kneading.
- Divide dough in 4 equal pieces. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup flour on board and roll each piece into a circle 1/8 thick.
- Brush with melted butter, then cut each circle in about 8 wedges; roll each up from wide to narrow end to form a crescent.
- Arrange crescents on lightly oiled (I use Pam) baking sheets, allowing room for rolls to triple in size. Brush with more melted butter, cover with plastic and set in a warm place to rise (about 1 hour).
- Bake in preheated 400 degree oven about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pale gold.
- Remove to racks to cool.
- When cool, you can bag them airtight and refrigerate or freeze.
