Ever go to a restaurant which serves such fantastic dinner rolls that by the time your entree has arrived your table has polished off the bread basket?
Ever looked at the server with that "I haven't eaten in a month, pity me look" hoping they'll bring you more of those delicious hot, rolls?
Ever hid the wrapper of your bakery/store bought rolls and stressed all through dinner hoping your mother-in-law wouldn't notice?
Have you wished you could make rolls like that? Now you can.
What I'm about to share with you may get me stoned. (Not that way ) Or at least not invited to any more family dinners.
This recipe has been in my family for generations with only one minor change. They are a little bit of work and time but I guarantee they'll blow your friends and family away.
Restaurant Quality American Ice Box Rolls
You'll need one small and two large mixing bowls and an area big enough to knead the dough.
Ingredients:
Yeast Mixture
Add cold water to first bowl. Stir well. Dump yeast mixture into first bowl stir well, add the 2 beaten eggs and stir until mixed.
Stir in 4 cups of flour until thoroughly mixed. Add remaing cups of flour 1 cup at a time until thoroughly mixed.
Turn dough out onto floured board or work surface and knead approximately 20 times. Place kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight.
When ready to use the next day. Remove from the fridge, punch the dough down, knead approximately 20 times on floured work area.
Pull off and shape into rolls. Cover and allow to rise in warm room for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 350 degrees until brown. Makes approximately 2 dozen rolls.
*Rolls allowed to rise but not baked can be frozen for later use.
Enjoy.
