Making Yeast Rolls
Making yeast rolls (some folks call them dinner rolls) starts with the first section of instructions on my
home made bread page.
This page picks up where that one left off.
Preparing the Dough

After dough has risen to double it's original volume (about 2 hours), and you have kneaded it a second time on an oiled counter, follow these instructions:

Form dough into small tennis ball sized pieces.

Place in a deep dish baking pan so that the rolls barely touch each other. Pre-warm oven by turning it on lowest setting for 2-3 minutes and then turn it back off. Cover the rolls and put them back in the oven and let rise for about 2 hours.
Baking Yeast Rolls

When rolls have risen for about two hours, the dough should have doubled in size by this time. Remove them from the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Uncover bread or rolls, and bake for about 45 minutes. When they LOOK done (golden brown), give them another 10 minutes, or the rolls in the middle of the pan will be doughy in the center.
Yeast rolls made in this manner can be frozen after baking. When cooled, put them in a zipper seal bag, squeeze out as much air as you can without smashing the rolls, and freeze.
Making yeast rolls is it's own reward. Imagine serving fresh hot, homemade dinner rolls the next time you have guests for dinner. Your home will smell of freshly made bread, and you can impress folks with your baking skills! Give it a try...
