How to Make Yummy Yeast Rolls

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat lemon-lime soda and melted butter to 110-115°F. Do not boil.
  3. Add the warm soda mixture, eggs, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups of flour, beating until smooth.
  5. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  7. Place the dough in a lightly greased large bowl, turning once to coat.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  9. Gently punch down the dough to release air.
  10. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  11. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Divide each portion into 9 equal pieces (36 pieces total).
  12. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  13. Place the rolls onto two greased baking sheets, leaving some space between each roll.
  14. Cover the baking sheets loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  15. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  16. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  17. Remove rolls from baking sheets and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
