1 scant tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup warm water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup warm milk
5 cups flour, more as needed
1/2 cup butter, melted
-
In a small bowl, mix the yeast, tablespoon of sugar, and warm
water. Set aside for three to four minutes, allowing the yeast to
activate. In a separate bowl, mix the salt, oil, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir
in the yeast mixture. Add the eggs and warm milk. Slowly stir in the
flour. Add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of flour if the dough is too
sticky to form a ball.
-
Cover the dough and let it rise for three or four hours.
-
Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll each piece into a
circle about 1/4-inch thick. Brush the dough with melted butter. Slice
the dough like a pizza into 12 wedges and roll up each wedge from the
wide end to the narrow end. Place the rolls on baking sheets with the
narrow tip of dough tucked underneath. Cover the rolls with a clean dish
towel and let them rise for another two or three hours.
-
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with butter and bake them for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Makes 2 dozen.
