Lion House Rolls



We went to Salt Lake during spring break and I couldn't resist going to the Lion House for some of their rolls. If you haven't had them, you need to. I bought a couple of the mixes just to try them and made one tonight. They were pretty much the best rolls I've ever had. Add a little raspberry honey butter (which I will post next) and I was in heaven! I also bought a Lion House Cookbook and here is the recipe for the rolls (which I have made from scratch and they are awesome!)

Lion House Rolls

Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
2 tablespoons dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder (instant or non-instant)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or shortening
5-5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
Directions
1In large bowl of electric mixer, combine water and milk powder, stir until dissolved.
2Add yeast, then sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups flour.
3Mix on low speed of mixer until ingredients are wet, then 2 minutes at medium speed.
4Add 2 cups more flour; mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then for 2 minutes as medium speed. (Dough will be getting stiff and remaining flour may need to be mixed in by hand).
5Add about ½ cup flour and mix again, by hand or mixer.
6Dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff.

5Add about ½ cup flour and mix again, by hand or mixer.
6Dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff.
7(It is not necessary to use the entire amount of flour.)
8Scrape dough off sides of bowl and pour about 1 T.vegetable oil all around the sides of the bowl so it is covered with oil.
9Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in warm place until double in size.
10(My note here- I just sprayed a clean large bowl with vegetable spray and put my ball of dough in there, turning to cover the dough with the vegetable spray.).
11After dough has risen, sprinkle cutting board or counter with flour and place dough on floured surface.
12Roll out and cut rolls in desired shape and size.
13Place on greased (or parchment lined) baking pans.
14Let rise in warm place until rolls are double in size (about 1 to 1 ½ hours).
15Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned.
16Brush with melted butter while hot.
