Thanksgiving is coming up next week for all of us in the US, and chances are, rolls are going to be on most of our menus. If you’d like to wow your friends and family by making them from scratch instead of from a can, give this recipe a try. The rolls it produces are soft, fluffy, and delicious and will put canned crescent rolls to shame.
Glazed Honey Pan Rolls
Ingredients
3-1/2 cups all purpose flour (my favorite is Gold Medal Unbleached)
2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
1 egg yolk
Glaze
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 egg white
1. Combine 2 cups flour and the yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Combine milk, oil, honey, and salt, and heat to 115-120 degrees.
3. Add warm liquids to flour mixture, and beat until combined. Add egg and egg yolk (save the white for the glaze), and beat for 2 minutes.
4. Add enough flour to make a kneadable dough, and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead 3-5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in bowl, cover with a wet tea towel, and let rise 1 hour.
5. Punch dough down and divide into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and place balls in two greased 8×8 inch pans or 9 inch round cake pans. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
6. Combine glaze ingredients and gently brush over risen rolls. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
