I made these rolls, because I needed some for a breakfast recipe and wanted to use homemade versus store bought. I'm so glad I choose to make homemade rolls, not only did they work perfectly in the breakfast but I had more than enough to keep in the freezer to use as a dinner roll.
It is not often that I make dinner rolls. I am usually more focused on the main part of dinner and don't plan for rolls or biscuits. Plus making them from scratch takes time. But now that I have this recipe I can make a batch and have plenty of rolls on hand for whenever I want to make some without spending the time preparing the dough.
Fresh baked, soft and fluffy homemade dinner rolls just got a little bit easier.
Homemade Freezer Yeast Rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup + 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 7 cups all purpose flour
- melted butter
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. As soon as the milk starts to boil, remove it from the heat.
- Place the cold butter into the hot milk and let the butter melt. Stir the mixture together and let cool until it is almost at room temperature.
- While the milk mixture cools, mix together the warm water, yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Let the mixture sit until the yeast gets bubbly.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in the room temperature milk mixture and the yeast mixture.
- Add in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, salt and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Add in 3 cups flour and mix briefly.
- Add in the remaining 4 cups of flour and mix on low until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and let rise for 1 more hour.
- Punch the dough down and turn the bough out onto a floured surface.
- Gently form the dough into a rectangle.
- Cut the dough into about 40 equal pieces.
- Form each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet that is lined with a silpat or parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the dough for 1 hour.
- Once the dough is frozen, place all of the dough balls into a sealable freeze bag. Keep the dough balls in the freezer until ready to bake.
- Pull out the desired number of frozen dough balls and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spray the tops of the dough balls with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 3-5 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400º F.
- Bake the rolls on the middle rack for 8-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once the rolls are done, immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
