I’m a bariatric patient, but guess what, some people aren’t, in fact, most people aren’t. And I love to entertain, which for me means cooking. I’m a great cook, but this recipe I have to give up to my friend Colleen who passed it on to me. These are so easy, but incredibly impressive. Even if you can’t eat them, make these killer homemade rolls for your guests and they’ll think you graduated from Le Cordon Bleu. (When I get a chance I will post a step-by-step photo instruction guide for those who are baking challenged.)
No Knead Dinner Rolls
Step 1
- 2 pkgs yeast
- ½ cup lukewarm water
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5 minutes.
Step 2
- 2 cups lukewarm milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp salt
In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar and salt; warm over low/medium heat.
Step 3
Melt one cube of margarine in microwave.
Step 4
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add 2 eggs and beat lightly.
Step 5
Combine yeast mixture, milk mixture and margarine with eggs, mix.
Step 6
Slowly add 6-7 cups of flour, mixing well using the dough hook for the stand mixer. Dough will be very sticky.
Step 7
Butter a large bowl (about twice the size of the dish containing the bread dough). Transfer dough to bowl, cover with saran wrap (butter to keep dough from sticking) and let rise until double in warm spot (approximately 45-60 minutes).
Step 8
Place dough onto floured surface (will be very sticky). Roll lightly or press to ½-1” thick. Cut into rolls. Place onto greased baking sheet.
Step 9
Let rise 30-45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Rolls should be lightly browned.
This recipe can be doubled. One batch makes a pan of rolls (approximately 15x10x1).
