Refrigerator Rolls
Hamantaschen for PurimOK, so Purim was yesterday. Save the recipe for next year. :-P The rest of the story, with pictures, is on my website, URL at bottom of...
6 - 6-1-2 c. all purpose flour 1-2 c. sugar 2 tsp. salt 2 pkgs. active dry yeast 1-2 c. butter, softened 2 c. very warm water 1 large egg vegetable oil melted butter
1. In a large bowl, combine 2-1-4 cups flour, sugar, salt & yeast. Addbutter. With mixer at low speed, gradually pour in two cups hot tap water(120F). Add egg, increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in 3-4 c. flour or enough to make a thick batter; continue beating 2 minutes. With a spoon, stir in enough additional flour (about 2-1-2 cups) to make a soft dough. 2. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, turning to grease the entire round of dough. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1-2 hours. 3. Punch down dough. Turn the dough over and brush with oil. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate, punching down occasionally, until ready to bake. About 2 hours before serving: Remove dough from refrigerator. Grease a 15X10 pan (I use an open roasting pan for this). Cut the dough into 30 equal pieces and shape into balls and place in the pan. Cover the pan with towels and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled about 1-1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 425F. Bake the rolls 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Remove rolls from pan and serve immediately. Makes 2-1-2 dozen rolls.
