These yeast rolls are so fluffy and soft. You can start the dough up to three days ahead of time, so they are perfect for your holiday table. Make them dinner roll size, or make them a little bit larger for a really tasty bun for sandwiches. This make ahead recipe may just make your new favorite dinner rolls.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Make sure the water isn’t too hot, you should be able to keep your finger in the water without it causing pain.
Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt until well mixed.
Add two cups of flour, beat until smooth.
Slowly add flour until you have added enough to form a soft dough. Do not knead!
Grease a large bowl and place dough inside. Cover and refrigerate for at least and hour, but up to three days.
The day you plan to bake them, remove from refrigerator and place onto a well floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.
Divide dough into 36-48 pieces depending on the size roll you’d like (remember they still have to rise, so make the pieces smaller than you want your finished product.) On a floured surface, shape into balls by folding the edges into the center until you have a round shape that is smooth on the top.
Place on greased baking sheets and cover with towels. Allow to rise until nearly doubled in size, about an hour.
Bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheets and place on wire racks to cool.
