Logan's Roadhouse Rolls Recipe
Logan's Roadhouse Rolls Recipe are a delightful treat that can make any meal feel special.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Dough hook
- Stand mixer (optional, but helpful)
- Baking tray
- Pastry brush
- Oven
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg beaten
- Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and beaten egg.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Use a dough hook attachment on your mixer or your hands to knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough, then divide and shape it into rolls. Place the rolls on a greased baking tray.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Butter Topping: Brush the freshly baked rolls with melted butter immediately after taking them out of the oven.
Notes
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your milk is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Do Not Over-knead: Over-kneading can make the rolls tough. Stop when the dough is smooth.
- Proper Proofing: Allow the dough to properly rise until doubled; this ensures light and fluffy rolls.
- Oven Consistency: Use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is at the correct temperature.
- Butter Generously: Don’t skimp on buttering the rolls before and after baking for that signature Logan’s taste.
