I made these for Thanksgiving dinner, but they are nothing more than just awesome dinner rolls for any time of the year. The recipe makes 16 rolls and I plan freeze the lot of them. Well, all but 1… you have to taste test, right?

The recipe is originally from Allrecipies.com. I made them on Tuesday and froze them.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/2 cup warm milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 3/4 cup flour
1 packet rapid dry yeast

Directions:
I used a breadmaker…. but you don’t have to! Follow the instructions of your breadmaker if you have one, up until the dough has risen.

By hand:
*Proof your yeast in the warm water with 1 tsp sugar
*In a saucepan, heat the milk slowly, then add the sugar and butter and mix until melted, then allow to cool to lukewarm
*In a large bowl, mix the flour, milk and yeast together
*Kneed for 8-10 minutes on a lightly floured counter
*Allow to rise for 1 hour
*Punch down and separate into 2 spheres, then cut into 8 pieces using a pizza cutter

*Preheat the oven to 350
*Roll up the dough and stretch the thin part around until it is on the bottom, then place onto a greased pan
*Brush with melted butter
*Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown

If you freeze these, to reheat, place in an oven for 5-8 minutes or until warmed back up.
