These are the best rolls on the planet. I’m not kidding.
I found the recipe several years ago and I’m now the official “roll bringing lady” at all the family parties. It’s such a good recipe.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember where I got this roll recipe. I would love to give “someone” credit, but I don’t know who to give credit to!! Trust me….you will love these!
The Best Rolls on the Planet
(Makes 48 rolls. This recipe is huge! I usually half it.)
Mix together and let sit for 10 minutes:
4 Tablespoons yeast
½ cup + 2 Tablespoons warm water
Mix together very well in separate bowl:
6 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup sugar
Warm milk in microwave until warm, not scalding.
2 cups warm milk (I use a glass 2 cup measure and it works out perfectly)
Add egg mixture and warm milk to the yeast mixture. Mix all together until combined.
Add 1 cup of flour at a time until combined together.
10-11 cups flour
2 Tablespoons salt
Knead for 5 minutes. Allow to raise 2-3 hours.
Separate dough into 6 even balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface until the size of a dinner plate.
Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 pizza slices.
Roll each slice downward (starting with the fat side), wrapping skinny bottom piece down and around to make pretty crescent shape.
Place 3 rolls across and 8 down, 24 on each cookie sheet.
Allow to double in size while covered with clean dish towel (about 15 minutes.) While raising on top of oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake one sheet at a time. Bake 6 minutes on bottom rack and then 5 minutes on middle rack until light golden brown. (Before you take them out, double check the bottom to make sure they are golden brown. You don’t want them to be too light, or they could be doughy). Once they are perfectly golden brown, brush tops with melted butter.
There ya go! I hope you love them!
