Debra's Roll Recipe and a Tutorial

Preheat oven to 350°

In a large bowl, combine 1 C warm water and 2 T yeast.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine 1/3 C oil, 1/3 C sugar, 2 T salt and 2 C milk.  Warm until the milk starts to bubble just around the edges of the pan.  Do not boil.  Set aside to let cool. 

When it is about room temperature (20-25 minutes), add the milk mixture to the yeast.

 

Add 1 C of flour at a time, until the dough is too thick to stir anymore.  Dump onto a floured surface and knead until soft dough forms. 

Place dough into a large, greased bowl.  Be sure to grease the top of the dough too!  Cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled (about an hour).  Punch down and roll our into a large rectangle. 

Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into rectangles about the size of your finger and thumb in an "L" shape. 

Melt some butter in the microwave and use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the rectangles.  Roll up and place on greased cookie sheet. 

Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled.  Bake for 17-20 minutes until golden on top.  Butter the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter and a pastry brush.  Remove from pan to cool, so the bottoms don't get mushy.
