Ingredients for 60 Minute Rolls

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Powdered Milk
  • Hot Water
  • Butter

How to Make 60 Minute Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, just until smooth. (No need for long kneading!)
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
  6. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 15 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for extra softness and flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
