Equipment

1 Stand mixer

Ingredients

3 cups Luke warm water
3 Tablespoon Instant yeast like Saf Instant
1 Cup Sugar
2 tbs set aside
½ cup Butter softened
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Salt
5-6 cups flour plus more for surface
¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

Start out by mixing the luke warm water, yeast and 2 tablespoon of sugar.
Let grow from about 10 minutes to make sure yeast is good.
Then add remaining sugar, butter, egg, salt.
Start mixer and add flour ½- 1 cup at a time. Around 4 cups go to ½ C at a time and allow a minute or two in between the next addition so the flour can be throughly mixed in. (About 5-6 cups total- see note).
Once the desired texture is reach, mix for another 10 minutes.
Cover with a towel help to warm the dough and speed up rising. Let rise about 2-3 hours.
Sift flour on a clean counter where you will rough out the dough.
When ready to prepare rolls, melt about 4 tablespoon butter on large cookie sheet. I like to do this by putting the butter chunk on the cookie sheet and placing the cookie sheet in the oven while it is preheating.
Roll out dough with rolling pin to about ½- 1 inch thick and cut in to circles with a large cup.
Take circles and pat each side in the melted butter on the pan. Fold in half and pinch. Align in pan. Once all are in the pan, cover with clean dish towel and let rise another 30 mins.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake in oven for 15-18 mins or until golden brown.
If desired brush top of cooked rolls with butter to soften and let cool.

Notes

*The goal is to have the dough texture so that it starts to separate from the edges of the mixing bowl but is slightly sticky. Too much flour will make them dense but not enough and the dough will be sticky and difficult to work with- lean towards the sticky side.

**Sometimes there is extra dough after filling up your cookie sheet. Roll this dough in to a small loaf and let rise. Cook after your rolls and you will have a nice extra loaf of bread!

***Dough may also be use to make garlic bread loaves. Just take dough and split in half. Roll out in to two loaves. Sprinkle with Jonny's Garlic Spread and a dash of Jonny's Seasoning Salt. Bake at 350 for 15 mins.

Can I use Active Dry Yeast if I dont have Saf Instant

You can use them exactly the same way. RapidRise won't work the same way.
