Refrigerator Dinner Rolls

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup shortening, margarine, or butter
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 5 1/4 -6 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted

Directions

Heat milk, honey, shortening, margarine, or butter, and salt in a saucepan until warm and shortening almost melts. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water and let stand until mixture is bubbly. Combine milk mixture and 2 cups of the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add dissolved yeast and egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Use a spoon to stir in as much remaining flour as you can.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a greased extra large bowl and turn once.

Chill, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. To shape rolls, punch dough down and remove half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Return remaining dough to refrigerator. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups. Divide dough into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, pulling edges under to make a smooth top. Place three balls in each muffin cup, smooth side up.

Cover; let rise until nearly double (about 30 minutes). Repeat with remaining dough. Brush tops of rolls with some of the 1/4 cup melted margarine. Bake in a 375 degree F oven 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 24.

Any of the roll recipes mentioned will work but I prefer using whole milk and instant yeast.

No Rise Dinner Roll Recipe

In the 1950s I bought a new loaf bread pan and it had a recipe for "no rise rolls"; I made them every morning for breakfast, they were that easy. Somewhere along the many moves we have made since then, I've lost the recipe. Hopefully someone out there has one they will share with me.

We made them up like biscuits and popped them in the oven on a lower setting, I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 or 350 degrees F. They rose up and were like regular dinner rolls, delicious. I would appreciate it if you could share the recipe with me.

Ice Box Rolls

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 2 pks. dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 5 cups flour
Place yeast in 1/4 c warm water. Measure and sift flour. Set aside. Pour warm water and softened yeast into large mixing bowl. Stir in salt, sugar and oil. Add flour gradually. The mixture will be soft enough to stir with a large wooden spoon. Cover with cloth and let rise until double in bulk. Put in refrigerator or use immediately. Bake in a 350 degree F oven until brown, 30 or 45 minutes. I melt real butter in a pan and place my rolls in the butter to cook. They are so good. (10/25/2006)

Old Fashioned Parker House Rolls

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 packages of dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 5 cups flour, approximately
Slowly warm milk over very low heat, remove from burner and let cool for a second or transfer to a small bowl, adding yeast and allow to activate. Transfer mixture to mixer bowl and add melted butter, salt and sugar. Stir until dissolved; add eggs. Using dough hook, incorporate flour a little at a time and mix until dough pulls away and a soft ball is formed. Turn dough on to a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place dough into a greased bowl, then flip it over so both sides are coated. Cover with a clean towel and place in a warm spot for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until doubled.

Punch down the dough, turn onto a floured surface and roll out to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds about 2-1/2 to 3 inches in size. Fold rounds in half lightly pressing together and place rolls close together on greased baking sheets or pans and brush all over with melted butter. Cover again, and place in a warm spot to allow to rise again, about 30 to 40 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Brush with additional melted butter if desired. This makes about 1-1/2 to 2 dozen yummy rolls, perfect for Thanksgiving dinner! (10/26/2006)
