I love food. I'm always looking for the "perfect" roll or bread recipe because for me bread is the ultimate comfort food. Serve this with homemade raspberry, strawberry or blackberry jam and you are in for the ultimate taste sensation!
This recipe comes from my cousin Krisanne's Ward Recipe book. (Let's face it, those are THE BEST recipe books ever!)
The taste difference here I think is the evaporated milk in that gives it that extra oomph! (Is that even a word?)
BEST ROLLS EVER!!!!
“Sister Clayton’s Roll Recipe”
½ Cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
½ cups shortening (I use butter)
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup warm water
2 pkgs dry yeast (dissolved in warm water)
7 ½ cups flour
Mix sugar, salt, eggs and shortening(or butter). Add evaporated milk, water and
yeast. Add 7 ½ cups flour (start
with 5 cups and add more as needed to make soft dough)Knead well. Place in a greased bowl and cover and
let rise until double. Punch down.
Form into rolls and put into greased pan.
Let rise 30 minutes. Bake
at 350 for 20 min or until the rolls are golden brown. This dough can be put into a container
with a tight fitting lid and be refrigerated (use within 2 day) or frozen. This recipe can be made into almost any
kind of sweet roll or dinner roll.
Makes about 3 dozen rolls.
*Who is Sister Clayton? I don’t know, but I have had this recipe since college at BYU and she sure has a good roll recipe!
