Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue adding flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a greased baking sheet, evenly spaced. Cover them with a cloth and let rise again for another 20-25 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free classic baked dinner rolls!
