Refrigerator Rolls

 This recipe takes some time, but it is well worth it!


1 cup milk
¼ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
¼ cup cool water
1 egg
1 pkg dry yeast
3 ½ cups flour (You can use part wheat flour, but no more than half)


1)      Heat milk in microwave for 3 ½ min, don’t let boil over. If scum forms on top remove with a fork.

2)      In a large bowl add butter, sugar, and salt to the milk.

3)      When butter melts add water.

4)      Add egg into milk mixture. (The mixture should should be luke warm by now)

5)      Add pkg of yeast, stir to dissolve.

6)      Stir in the flour, you can’t mix too much. This will be a wet and sticky dough.

7)      Cover dough and let rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour (The microwave is a good place to let it rise, as long as it’s not in use! J)

8)      When the dough is risen, stir down.

9)      Replace cover and put in fridge until ready to make into rolls. You can store them in the fridge for up to 10 days and use it as you need it.

10)  Turn out dough on floured surface (about 1 cup of flour)

11)  Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 15 to 20 times.

12)  Form into balls cover, I use a muffin tin to bake them in, it works great, and let rise until doubled in size and smooth.

13)  Bake @ 350 for 30 min. Until golden brown.


You can also use the dough to make some really good
cinnamon rolls, and stromboli!
