Aunt Kay's Amazing Rolls!

This is my Aunt's recipe! They are super easy and I think personally they are the best rolls ever! But that might just be because she is my aunt!
You will need (I am halving the recipe so if you are making them for Thanksgiving, then double it):
  • 2 cups warm water (the temperature is important for the yeast to work right so room temp is always best)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. yeast (the red star brand is her favorite)
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar

Mix these ingredients together in a large bowl and wait a few minuets until bubbling then add:

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp salt
  • 1/2 stick of butter (soften)
  • 5-6 cups flour (add more as needed)

Knead until all is blended. Bowl should scrape clean, if not it needs more flour. Let rise in bowl for 1 1/2 hours.

Put some flour on the counter and smash dough till even. Cut into circles (I just used a cup) and fold in half on a cookie sheet (use non-stick spray). Let rise for another 1 1/2 hours.

bake at 400 for 10 min.

You can also use this dough for:

  • Bread sticks
  • pizza dough
  • bread
Or a mountain of rolls! ;)
