HEAVENLY ROLLS RECIPE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Instructions Mix 1 TB yeast with ¼ cup warm water and ½ tsp. sugar. Let stand until bubbly. In a large bowl mix 1 cup warm milk, ½ cup oil, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. salt with a wooden spoon. Add 1 cups of flour to mixture, and mix well. Add 2 eggs and beat until smooth (mix vigorously be hand). Add yeast mixture and mix vigorously until smooth. Add 3-4 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Dough should be very sticky. Pour the dough into a large bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it has doubled in size. Once the dough has doubled in size punch down and divide in half. Roll dough onto a floured surface making a circle about 12 inches round. Dough should be about ⅜" thick. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut circles with a pizza cutter into 12 pieces (like a pizza). Roll from rounded edge to the point to make a crescent roll. Place into a greased pan (we use an 11 x16 metal pan and do 3 across and 8 rows down). Cover dough with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it doubles in size. Bake at 375 until light lightly browned, which is about 15-20 minutes. NOTE: Touch rolls to see if they bounce back - if they do not, bake a little longer). Brushed with melted butter right while warm. ENJOY!

HEAVENLY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, shortening and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt and enough remaining flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Turn onto a heavily floured surface; pat to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter or drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops with butter if desired. Dough may be refrigerated up to 3 days. Punch down each day.

HEAVENLY REFRIGERATOR ROLLS

Steps:

• Stir and dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Combine the dissolved yeast, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup warm water, shortening, sugar and salt in a mixer bowl. Beat until smooth at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl.
• With a wooden spoon, stir in the remaining flour to make a soft dough. It will be sticky. Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about an hour. Punch down and refrigerate overnight. (If you are using a KitchenAid mixer, do all the mixing with it and forget the wooden spoon).
• Three hours before baking, divide dough in half,and then roll each half into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Spread with butter. Starting with long side, roll up jelly-roll style. Cut in 1 inch slices. Place cut side down in greased muffin-pan cups.
• Cover and let rise about 3 hours until doubled. Bake at 400°f for 12-15 minutes.
• OR: Divide the dough in half as directed, but roll into a circle. Cut 12 pie shaped wedges with a pizza cutter, and then roll up like a crescent roll. I usually butter these also, and sometimes add fresh parmesan cheese before rolling. These make large rolls, so if you smaller ones divide the dough into three pieces, and end up with 36.

HEAVENLY CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Stir 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the yeast into the warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Whisk together the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Beat together the eggs, applesauce, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a sticky dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until fairly smooth but still sticky, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 30 minutes. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 16x20 inch rectangle. Spread the honey over the dough; sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and raisins. Beginning with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, and pinch to seal the seam. Cut into 12 equal size pieces. Place the rolls into the prepared pan cut side up. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
