COPYCAT GOLDEN CORRAL'S ROLLS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over very warm water in a large bowl (Very warm water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Stir until yeast dissolves. Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and salt to hot milk and stir until the sugar dissolves and butter or margarine is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees F. Add milk mixture to yeast, then beat in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Use some of the remaining 1/2 cup of the flour to dust a pastry cloth. Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes, working in the remaining flour (use it for flouring the pastry cloth and your hands). Place dough in a warm buttered bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour as possible for flouring your hands and the pastry cloth, otherwise the rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be. Pinch off small chunks of dough and shape into round rolls about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Place in neat rows, not quite touching, in a well-buttered 13- by 9- by 2-inch pan. Cover rolls and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter or margarine, then bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm with plenty of butter.

GOLDEN CORRAL ROLLS RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Stir in the 2 teaspoons of sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until mixture foams up. Heat milk in microwave or in small saucepan on stove top. Add sugar, butter, and salt to hot milk and stir until butter is melted. Cool to 105°F to 110°F. Pour milk mixture into bowl of stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture and egg. Mix together. Mix in all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten. Beat to form a soft dough. Knead with mixer for 5 minutes, adding extra flour, if needed. Place dough in warm oiled or buttered bowl, turning greased side up. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in warm place* until doubled in bulk, about 60 minutes. Punch dough down and hand-knead for 5 minutes on lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 12 pieces and shape into round rolls. Place them, not touching, in greased 13x9x2 baking pan. Cover with a clean towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 30-45 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter. You can use your oven as a dough incubator, turning it on to 400°F for one minute, then turning it off, and placing bowl of dough in the oven for the two rising times. I also like to place a pan of water on the bottom of my oven. I've read that it mimics a convection oven and helps bread to bake moist.

YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Mix ingredients together and knead with hands. If sticky, add a handful of flour. Roll into a ball and press a hole in the middle with a spoon. Pour oil into hole and then spread over the top. Cover with wax paper and set in a warm place to rise. Let it double in size.
• 2. Grease pans with shortening. Squeeze off a small ball of dough. Knead and roll in shortening. Place in pan in rows, 1/2 inch apart. Let dough rise to top of pan. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes. Smear shortening on top of rolls and let cool for 15 minutes in the pan and then turn them out onto a towel and let bottoms cool. Then return to pan.

YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add a pinch of sugar to the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir to dissolve yeast. Beat in the remaining sugar, salt, shortening, cold water, and egg until well blended. On low speed, beat in 2 cups of flour and beat for 2 minutes. Beat in enough of the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make soft dough. Place the dough in a well-greased bowl and turn to coat the dough. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch the dough down and refrigerate for 2 hours. The dough will almost double in bulk. Grease 2 (9-inch) cake pans. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pull off pieces of the dough, about a 1/4 cup each and shape into 24 rolls. Place 12 rolls, sides touching in each of the 2 prepared pans. Brush with butter. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Bake the rolls until well browned on the top, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pan to wire racks to cool for 5 minutes.
