BUTTER FLAKE ROLLS

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Place the milk, sugar, yeast, flour, egg yolks, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine on low speed for 1 minute. Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook and rest the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 2 ounces of the butter and mix on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and you are able to gently pull the dough into a thin sheet that light will pass through, about 8 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll and shape with your hands to form a large ball. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and roll into a 12 by 12-inch square, about 1/2-inch thick. Melt the remaining 1/2 ounce butter and brush onto the top of the dough.
• Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 (12 by 1-inch) strips. Stack the strips into 2 stacks of 6 strips each. Lay the stacks on their sides and cut each stack into 6 (2-inch) wide pieces. Lay each piece on its side into a prepared muffin tin cup. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the rolls reach an internal temperature of 200 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
• Remove the muffin tin to a cooling rack and cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine 3 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, egg, and salt in a large bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with dough hook.
• Heat milk until very warm (110°F to 120°F).
• Add warm milk to the flour mixture. Knead 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally if needed. Add ½ cup flour; knead for 2 more minutes.
• Add remaining ½ cup flour. The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the bowl and very soft. (If the dough seems too wet you may need more flour. If needed, add additional flour in ¼ cup increments until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl while kneading.)
• Spray a bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough into the bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let it rest 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
• Roll dough into a square that is about ½-inch thick. Brush the dough with melted butter and salt.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 strips of equal size, approximately 1½ inches wide.
• Group and stack the strips into 2 separate sections (6 strips each stack). Cut each stack into 6 pieces for a total of 12 stacks of dough. Each stack will be a roll.
• Place each stack into the prepared muffin tin on their sides, cut-side up.
• Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rest 30-40 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size. (Each roll should be about 1 inch higher than the muffin tin.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake for 12-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter while warm.
• Sprinkle kosher salt on top if desired.

Steps:

• Combine water and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients, including 8 cups of flour.
• Mix well and check dough consistency to determine how much of the remaining flour you should add. (I generally use 9 cups of flour every time.).
• Knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes (or less, if using an electric dough mixer).
• Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. You can refrigerate the dough overnight or leave out and let it rise until the dough nearly doubles in size.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and divide in 4 equal parts.
• Roll each section into a 12 to 14 inch circle.
• Brush circle with melted butter and cut (using a pizza cutter) into 12 pie-shaped pieces.
• Roll the slices, starting from the wide end to the small pointed end.
• Place rolls, small end down, on a greased baking sheet.
• Cover with a clean/dry dish towel and let rise for another 2 to 4 hours (depending on the warmth of your kitchen).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter after removing from the oven.
• CINNAMON ROLLS: We usually make 2-3 dozen dinner rolls and use the remaining dough to make dessert! Instead of rolling the dough into a circle, roll the section into a rectangle. Brush with butter. Sprinkle entire rectangle liberally with cinnamon. Cover entire rectangle with a layer of brown sugar. Roll the dough up lengthwise. Brush the roll with butter to seal the edge of the dough to the roll. Use thread or dental floss to cut 12 equal slices. Place the cinnamon rolls, flat side down, in a greased baking dish. Cover with a clean/dry dish towel and allow to rise for 2 to 4 hours (depending on the warmth of your kitchen). Bake at 375 for approximately 15 minutes (or until the rolls appear golden brown). Frost with cream cheese frosting (8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 teaspoons vanilla extract, and several cups of powdered sugar -- I never measure -- beat until the frosting is smooth and thick).

• Make 5 or 6 cuts deep into roll cutting nearly to the bottom.
• Squeeze butter or margarine into each slice and dust with flour, if desired.
• Place roll in muffin tin cup sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cover with sprayed plastic wrap, and allow to rise until double in size.
• Remove wrap and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Immediately place rolls on cooling rack.
