Bread Rolls - easy enough, and relatively fast


I haven't done a recipe post in a while, but I have to share this recipe with you.
I don't bake bread, and I know I should. I have been told it is not as hard as I think it is.
It is just that having to set aside some time that stops me from doing so.
It's my favorite bread roll recipe, and I have used it so often that I now know it by heart.

Melt:
2 Tbs butter
3 Tbs sugar

in 1 cup of hot water.

Wait about 5 minutes for the water to cool down a little.

Add 2 and 1/4 tsp of traditional yeast (this is 1 package, I believe)
and mix until yeast is dissolved.

Add 2 and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour (or replace up to 1 cup with whole wheat flour)
and 1 tsp of salt

Stir until mixed - you don't really have to knead here, just make sure it's kind of together.
Let sit until mixture doubles in size. I usually have to wait about 30 mins . If I'm in a big rush, I turn on the oven for 2 minutes until it is kind of warm in there. And then I stick the dough, covering the bowl with saran wrap. This speeds up the raising of the dough.

Scoop equal amounts into greased muffin tins and bake at 425 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

Done!!!

This is a bread recipe that I can handle. I love making homemade bread but it's an all day project and I just don't have the time. I'm going to give this recipe a try. I might have to double it, my husband is a roll fiend.

Hello! I just made these, and they turned out great! Both my 4 year old and two year old love them. I hope you'll post more recipes.
