I’ve been craving some good old-fashioned yeasty doughy rolls lately, so tonight I decided it’s time to make some. They turned out really well, and I will definitely make them again. Here’s the very easy recipe.
1 1/4 cups water – 110 – 115 degrees
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
3 T vegetable oil
3 T honey
2 1/4 tsp yeast
3 cups flour blend (I used 1 cup of Featherlight, and 2 cups of Carol Fenster blend
1 T xantham gum
1 tsp salt
Heat water to 110º to 115ºF and pour into mixing bowl. Add yeast and allow to foam for about 5 minutes. Add eggs, oil and honey to water and yeast.Thoroughly blend dry ingredients (except yeast) in a bowl (I used the bowl on our stand up mixer, and just combined with a whisk). With the mixer on a low speed, gradually add to liquid ingredients until all dry ingredients are well blended. Beat on medium speed about 5 minutes.Spoon batter into greased bread muffin cups or small loave pans; allow to rise approximately 30 minutes. Brush lightly with egg wash (they will be very delicate, so be careful!). Bake at 375ºF for 15 minutes; until tops are golden brown.
How similar to the old fashioned yeast rolls did these taste? I have had such a hard time finding a recipe to replace those type of rolls. My nephew loves yeast rolls. I had Thanksgiving and I made some rolls, but I noticed a lot of them left on plates and not eaten! They just didn’t have the right flavor or texture. At Christmas I gave up and just made Chebe.

We’re talking barely reaching 20 degrees during the day. Last night, waiting for the train and the bus it was cold. And windy. And dark. Add to that, it was an OYO night at our house (On Your Own, which means whatever you want to do for dinner, you’re own your own!). So the whole bus ride home I am thinking “Warm yeast rolls + butter. Warm yeast rolls + butter. Warm yeast rolls + butter. “ [...]
