Step-by-step
- In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the water and milk powder and stir until the milk dissolves.
- Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Then add the sugar, salt, butter, egg and 2 cups of the flour.
- Mix on low speed of mixer until ingredients are wet, then turn to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and add 2 more cups of flour then mix on low speed until the ingredients are wet, then turn mixer on medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
- The dough will be getting stiff and you may need to remove the bowl from the mixer and mix in the remaining flour by hand.
- Add approximately 1/2 cup of flour and mix again (this can be done by hand or mixer).
- The dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff. It is not necessary to use the entire amount of flour.
- Scrape the dough off the sides of the bowl and pour approximately one tablespoon of vegetable oil all around the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough over in the bowl so it is covered with the oil. (This helps prevent the dough from drying out.)
- Cover with plastic and allow to rise in a warm place until double in size.
- Sprinkle your counter with flour and put the dough on the flour.
- Roll out and cut into desired shape and size of rolls.
- Place on lightly greased baking pans.
- Let rise in a warm place until the rolls are double in size (approx. 1 hour).
- Bake homemade rolls at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until browned.
- Brush with melted butter when taken out of the oven.
My Secret to the Perfect Homemade Rolls: Lion House Rolls
As a busy working mom, finding time to bake is a luxury, not a given. Weekends are precious, filled with family time and errands, and I often crave the simple comfort of warm, freshly baked bread. But store-bought rolls? They just don't compare to the soft, fluffy, buttery perfection of homemade rolls. That's why I’ve perfected my recipe for Lion House Rolls – a recipe that's become a staple in our home, perfect for any occasion.
The secret to these rolls isn't some exotic ingredient; it's the careful balance of ingredients and the gentle touch needed during the kneading process. It's about letting the yeast work its magic, allowing the dough to rise slowly, transforming simple flour and water into something truly special. The aroma that fills the kitchen during the rising process is intoxicating, a promise of the deliciousness to come. And the taste? Oh, the taste! Each bite is a burst of buttery goodness, soft and pillowy, melting in your mouth. It's a taste that transports me back to simpler times, to lazy Sunday afternoons filled with the comforting warmth of family and freshly baked bread. These rolls aren't just food; they're a memory, a feeling, a piece of home.
These rolls are incredibly versatile. They're perfect alongside a hearty Sunday roast, a comforting bowl of soup on a chilly evening, or even as a simple snack enjoyed with a cup of tea. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity – even a beginner baker can achieve remarkable results. There is a sense of pride and accomplishment in creating something so delicious from scratch, and the joy on my family's faces when they sink their teeth into a warm, fluffy roll makes all the effort worthwhile.
I often double or even triple this recipe, freezing half for future use. The frozen rolls thaw beautifully and bake up just as well as fresh. This means that even on the busiest of weeks, I can still enjoy the simple pleasure of warm, homemade rolls. And that, my friends, is a luxury I wouldn't trade for the world.
More than just a recipe, Lion House Rolls represents the heart of home-cooked meals and family traditions. It’s about taking the time to create something special, something made with love, and sharing that love with the people you cherish most. It’s about slowing down, savoring the process, and appreciating the simple joys of life. So, take a deep breath, gather your ingredients, and let the aroma of freshly baked rolls fill your kitchen with warmth and happiness. It’s a recipe for more than just bread; it’s a recipe for cherished memories.
Beyond the practical aspects of baking, these rolls hold a special place in my heart. They remind me of simpler times, of cozy evenings spent with family, and the comforting presence of freshly baked bread. The process itself is therapeutic – the gentle kneading, the anticipation of the rising dough, the golden-brown perfection emerging from the oven. It’s a meditative practice, a time to escape the hustle of daily life and connect with something primal and fulfilling.
I encourage you to make these rolls not just for their taste, but for the experience. Share them with loved ones, and watch their faces light up with delight as they savor each bite. These aren't just rolls; they're an invitation to slow down, appreciate the simple pleasures, and create lasting memories around a table filled with warmth, laughter, and the delicious aroma of home-baked bread. Give it a try; I promise you won't be disappointed.
