60 Minute Rolls

My in-laws arrived a few weeks ago for another nice long visit.  They came to house-sit and take care of our dogs while we were on vacation and will be staying until after Thanksgiving.  

It’s been great to have them here!  Grandpa is helping out with homeschooling and yard work.  Thanks to Grandma the laundry has actually been caught up…at least once or twice.  She’s also helping out with the meals, which is wonderful!  She cooks, I take pictures.  And the best part….new recipes like today’s 60 Minute Rolls.  I’ve known her for over twenty years and this is the first time I’ve had these rolls!  How is it that grandma’s do that? Just when you think you’ve had all their good food, they surprise you with something new!

The name “60 Minute Rolls” may sound time-consuming but homemade yeast rolls usually take much longer than these.  So when you think about having fresh, hot, homemade yeast rolls on the table for a weeknight dinner in about 60 Minutes, start to finish…it’s totally worth it!

I almost forgot, my kids said they taste like “Sister Shubert’s”, a frozen roll we enjoy very much.  

Here’s the Recipe:

•  3 1/2 – 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (White Lily)
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 pkg. dry yeast (about 4 1/2 tsp)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup margarine
• Extra margarine for brushing on rolls

In a large bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast

In a small sauce pan over low heat, combine milk, water, and margarine until very warm but not boiling (120-130° F)

Gradually add the warm liquid to the dry ingredients and beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides occasionally

“Batter” will be very thin

Add 1/2 cup flour and beat on additional 2 minutes on high speed

 Using 1/2 cup at a time, stir in enough additional flour to form a soft dough – 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups more

*Adding only 1/2 cup at a time helps prevent too much flour from being added.  More will be incorporated in kneading

**Several factors can affect the amount of flour your dough will need.  Depending on the temperature and humidity the amount you add could vary each time you make them.  Don’t worry, they will still be good.

Turn dough on to lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic

Butter all sides and bottom of a “Tupperware” type bowl with a lid that seals tightly

Place dough in bowl and turn so that all sides are coated with butter

Cover bowl tightly and place in a sink of warm water

Water should come about halfway up the side of the bowl

Allow to sit for 15 minutes

While dough is rising, pre-heat oven to 450 degrees, prepare baking pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray and melt some extra margarine

Turn out onto flour board and flatten to about 1/2 inch thick

Using biscuit cutter or glass, cut dough into rounds about 3″ across

Brush each round with butter 

Fold in half so that the butter is on the inside.  Don’t seal or smash

Brush top with more butter

Cover with a cloth and let rise about 15 minutes

Bake at 450 degrees 12-15 minutes

 What’s you’re favorite kind of roll?
