This is a Taste of Home recipe and was brought to our last freezer meal exchange. I love having frozen rolls so I can pull out a few for meals without having to cook up a whole batch!
Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 1-1/2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Butter, melted
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add 2 teaspoons sugar; let
- stand for 5 minutes. Add milk, oil, salt and remaining sugar. Stir
- in enough flour to form a stiff dough.
- Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic,
- about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease
- top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2
- hours.
- Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into
- four portions. Cover three portions with plastic wrap. Divide one
- portion into 12 balls. To form knots, roll each ball into a 10-in.
- rope; tie into a knot and pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining
- dough.
- Place dough knots 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets; brush with
- melted butter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20-30
