Sunday rolls recipe



Recipe for sunday rolls in our easy yeast bread recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 2 packages yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Crisco shortening
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • 4 1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
  • Melted butter

How to make sunday rolls

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Warm the milk, sugar, the 1/2 cup butter and shortening and salt together in a small, heavy pan over low heat, just until the butter and shortening melt.
  • Set the pan aside to cool to lukewarm. Add the liquid to the yeast, and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Mix in the eggs and potatoes. Stir in as much of the flour as is needed to form a soft dough.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise until it has nearly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Sprinkle a counter with some of the remaining flour and knead the dough for a couple of minutes to make it smooth and elastic.
  • Add in a little flour, if needed, to make the dough more workable. Roll the dough out to a 1/2- to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut it into rounds with a 3 inch biscuit cutter.
  • Brush half of each roll top with melted butter and fold the unbuttered half over it, so that the upper half extends about 1/2 inch beyond the lower half.
  • Arrange the rolls on a greased baking sheet with the rounded side of each roll just touching the flat side of the roll next to it.
  • Allow the rolls to sit covered, for 1 hour or until they are doubled in size. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake rolls for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake rolls an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until they are nicely browned. Serve the rolls hot.
