Bakers...

[vettechick99]

do you have a great recipe for yeast rolls? I love the ones from Logan's Steakhouse so I've looked on the net some. I see many different recipes but they get iffy reviews.

Do you have experience with a recipe that produces sweet, soft, light yeast rolls?

P/S I don't have a bread machine and this will be my first breadmaking experience!

I am not a baker. Pretty good cook, but not a baker. My mom is an expert and can make just about anything. Her favorite yeast rolls are the frozen Sister Schubert rolls (come in a bag at the grocery). She works at an upscale senior living center and this is what they serve. She found out from the cook that these rolls are frequently used at restaurants when she asked for the recipe since they were so good.

You can also buy some frozen mini dough balls and let them thaw and raise. These are good also and seem a little more homemade. Brush the tops of the rolls before baking with a honey butter mix. Either of these are better than anything I can make myself. I'll watch your thread for recipe ideas too. Good luck.

2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening (Crisco)
3/4 c. 7-UP

Mix dry ingredients together well. Cut in shortening with a fork or pastry blender until it's the size of peas. Stir in 7-UP, just until mixed. Add a few drops more if needed. Gather dough gently into a ball, it shouldn't be crumbly, but be smooth and soft. Knead about 10 times, then roll or pat out onto a lightly floured surface until about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, or cut into squares or wedges and bake on a greased cookie sheet. Gather scraps, knead once or twice and pat out again for cutting. Do not twist cutter when using, this prevents the biscuits from rising properly! Serve hot with butter. The English serve biscuits (or scones) with fresh raspberry jam and a dab of double cream (found in small cans at Safeway). You could probably sub. a bit of whipped cream mixed with a bit of sour cream to thicken it, sweetened to taste. These can be frozen and reheated at a later date.
