Mamaw's Homemade Rolls

These rolls are the best. My kids love them and of course, Mamaw has turned over the keys to this recipe, so enjoy.

1. Put 4 Tablespoons of dry yeast (I use Fleischman's Rapid Rise) in 1 cup of warm water. Remember this needs to be in a container that will allow the mixture to rise double it's size.

2. Measure in a saucepan 3 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of oil. Heat slowly to lukewarm. (I stir with my little finger for temperature.)

3. Measure in a large mixing bowl, 4 cups of sifted flour, l cup of sugar, and 1 Tablespoon salt.

4. In another bowl, sift 4 more cups of flour and set aside.

5. Pour milk mixture into flour and sugar mixture, I mix by hand.

6. Add yeast mixture and stir.

7. Add remaining flour, stir.

8. In a large mixing bowl (oiled) transfer mixture and turn over to coat dough.

9. Cover with dish cloth and let rise (double in size) in a warm, quiet place. :)

10. Divide dough into 4ths. On a floured surface (I use a pastry cloth) roll into a circle, cut into sections like a pizza with a pizza cutter. Roll up each piece to make a crescent. Place on greased, foil lined, cookie sheet. Cover with cloth and let rise double in size again.

11. Bake in a 350* oven until done. About 15 minutes.


You can also make cinnamon rolls out of this dough!

As much as I would like to take credit for the roll recipe, Glenda gave it to us!!

However, I have never tasted anyone's rolls that can compare to yours!! The reason the baton was passed is because I couldn't compete:-) Love you!
