Just Roll With It

This post is for my newfound friend, Karen. We met at a preschool Thanksgiving feast, where we gabbed over plates of stuffing & chicken nuggets & homemade rolls. She graciously asked me for my roll recipe. I happen to LOVE my roll recipe. It is the ONLY one after many failed attempts that I can get to work out here in the high altitude of Colorado. And may I say, they are scrumptious.
So here's to you Karen {you sweet thing!}, and all roll lovers everywhere! Enjoy!

1½ cups warm water

1 TBSP sugar

2 TBSP yeast

1½ cups warm milk

½ cup butter

½ cup sugar

2 tsp. salt

2 beaten eggs

6-7 cups bread flour

In a separate bowl, activate yeast, warm water, 1 TBSP sugar, and yeast; set aside until bubbly.

Melt butter in milk, then add sugar, salt and eggs.

Add 3 cups of flour to the milk mixture, then add the yeast mixture.

After combined, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. If dough is too sticky, add up to another cup of flour.

Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.

Punch dough down and form into rolls. Let rise for another hour.

Bake at 375º for 12-14 min.
