How to Make Easy Big Fat Yeast Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup butter or shortening
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (may need a little more)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a small saucepan, heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Stir until the butter melts. Let it cool to lukewarm.
3. In a large bowl, mix the yeast, milk mixture, beaten egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until smooth.
4. Gradually add the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
7. Punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape them into balls.
8. Place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter, if desired.
