- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE YEAST-ROLLS B "26 Mar 87" 1987
- .RZ "EASY REFRIGERATOR ROLLS" "An utterly reliable recipe for yeast rolls."
- I believe this recipe started its life on the back of a Fleischman's
- Yeast package, but it has been memorized and modified for about ten
- years now. It is the most reliable yeast recipe I've ever seen: it's
- never failed on me, and it always does an amazing amount of rising (my
- family calls them mushroom rolls).

- .IG "6\(14 cups" "all-purpose flour" "1.2 kg"
- .IG "\(12 cup" "sugar" "50 g"
- .IG "2 tsp" "salt" "10 ml"
- .IG "2 Tbsp" "dry yeast" "15 g"
- (each package is about 1 Tbsp)

- .SK 1
- Combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast.
- .SK 2
- Heat milk, water, and butter until liquids are very warm
- .TE (120\-130 (50\-55 ).
- Add to dry ingredients.
- .SK 3
- Beat 2 minutes at medium speed (I've never used an electric mixer, by
- the way. Just stir until things are evenly combined and not terribly
- lumpy.)
- .SK 4
- Add egg and
- .AB "1 cup" "200 g"
- flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes.
- Add enough additional flour to make a soft
- dough. This is where the arm muscles get their exercise!
- .SK 5
- Grease top of dough (with butter or vegetable shortening). Cover the
- bowl and refrigerate it overnight.
- .SK 6
- Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Shape them into balls, and
- place each in a greased muffin cup.
- .SK 7
- Cover; let rise in a warm place
- .TE (75-100 (25-35 )
- until doubled. This will take between 1 and 1 \(12 hours.
- Towards the end of the rising period, preheat the oven to
- .TE 400 200 .
- .SK 8
- Bake at
- .TE 400 200
- for 12 to 15 minutes. Store the rolls tightly
- covered\(emthat is, if there are any left.
- .NX
- This is the first really good yeast bread recipe I discovered when I
- started making bread in the sixth grade. Done carefully, it can
- approach a delicate, cakelike texture. It doesn't have to be shaped
- into rolls, of course -- try it in a regular bread pan, or in fancy
- shapes.
- .PP
- I use Fleischman's dry yeast. I suppose cake yeast can be used, but it
- always seemed like a nuisance to me.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 1 hour of work spread over 2 days.
- .I Precision:
- measure the ingredients.
