Ingredients
- 7 to 8 cups (36 1/2 ounces) all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (2 1/3 ounces) sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups (about 18 ounces) milk
Preparation
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, place the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Mix briefly to combine. Add the oil or butter, water and milk. Knead dough until a soft, supple dough forms, about 5-6 minutes, it should not be too sticky or too dry and tough. Place the dough in a oiled bowl and let rise until doubled, about an hour and a half.
Butter a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the dough into 36 equal size pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place on the baking sheet. When all the rolls are formed, let the dough once again rise until doubled in volume.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the risen rolls with a little butter if desired and then bake for 25 to 30 minutes. If they begin to get too brown, cover the top with foil.
