DESCRIPTION
Best in Show Dinner Rolls

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

INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe took Best In Show at the 2007 Hunterdon County Fair in New Jersey. It is from Southern Living, February 1990, and originally posted by LSB. I have modified that recipe and use a bread machine.

The dough is VERY wet, but it does work into very sticky balls.

BEST EVER YEAST ROLLS

16 rolls

1 cup water (8 ounces)
1 stick unsalted butter
1 egg
2 ounces sugar (1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 ounces KAF AP flour (3 1/2 cups using 4.5 ounces to equal 1 cup)
2 teaspoons instant yeast

Layer the ingredients in the order listed above in your ABM. Process on dough cycle.

Turn dough out onto a greased surface and fold dough over onto itself several times. Divide dough into 16 parts, about 2 ounces per piece. Shape dough into balls and place balls into a greased 10-inch square pan. If using the egg wash, line the pan with 2 sheets of overlapping parchment paper that comes up both sides, as the egg wash runs and sticks to the pan. Very messy to clean up. : )

Place in microwave, no heat or steam, and let rise 30 minutes. Or cover with a something larger so the cover does not touch the rolls and let rise.

After the 30 minute rise, begin preheating oven to 325 degrees. Just before baking, brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with your choice of seeds, or no seeds.

Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes, then turn up the heat to 375 degrees and bake for 13 minutes (while oven is preheating, count that as in the 13 minutes). Or you can experiment baking at a higher temperature and check after 20-25 minutes. I baked them for 30 minutes once, and they were too done, came out a bit dry but still very good. The rolls should be a nice mahogany brown from the egg wash when they are done.

Spread the word
