DESCRIPTION
Beth Hensperger'’s Virginia Light Rolls

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Yeast Bread/Rolls (not sourdough)

INSTRUCTIONS
These are from Beth Hensperger’s The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook. Tender and buttery, they are always well received. Do try them.

1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. Milk
3 Tbsp. honey
2 large eggs
6 Tbsp. butter, cut into pieces
1 ½ tsp. salt

4 ¼ c. all-purpose flour

2 tsp. SAF yeast or 2 ½ tsp. breach machine yeast

4 Tbsp. melted butter (I use only 2 Tbsp.) for brushing

Place the first set of ingredients into the bread machine. Add the flour and then the yeast. Program for dough cycle; press Start.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (I use a Pam-sprayed Silpat and work with Pam-sprayed hands.) Shape into ~ 24 balls. I usually use 1 ½ oz. per roll.) Cover and let rise for 35 – 40 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Bake at 375 for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown. (I usually bake in a 350 degree convection oven.)
