Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 cups Warm water (110-115°F)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 5.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the remaining sugar, salt, softened butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, transfer it to a floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. Be careful not to over-knead.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
Punch down the dough to release air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 24 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a roll. For the traditional Lion House style, roll dough portions into rectangular shapes, roll them up lengthwise, and tuck the ends under slightly.
Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet with the seam side down. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise again for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter for a soft, glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
