How to Make Easy Yeast Rolls Or Monkey Bread
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (105-115°F). Add sugar and salt, stir until dissolved.
- Add the melted butter (or oil), and eggs. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball. (For Monkey Bread: skip to step 10)
- Place the dough balls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. (For Monkey Bread: Melt butter and combine with cinnamon sugar. Toss dough balls in mixture. Arrange dough balls in a bundt pan or greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.)
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
