🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup warm milk (110°F)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Butter Glaze

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon honey

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and salt. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth.

3Gradually add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

5Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

6Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

7Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

8While rolls bake, mix melted butter and honey for the glaze. Brush over warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Golden Corral Yeast Roll

1. Why are my yeast rolls not rising?

This usually happens if the yeast is old or the liquid was too hot. Check the expiration date on your yeast and make sure your milk is around 110°F, warm but not hot.

2. Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast. Use the same amount but skip the proofing step. Mix it directly with the flour and then add the warm liquid.

3. How do I store leftover rolls?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

4. Can I make these rolls gluten free?

I have not tested a gluten free version, but you can try using a 1:1 gluten free flour blend. The texture may be different, so expect a denser roll.

5. What can I use instead of honey in the glaze?

You can substitute maple syrup or simply use melted butter alone. The honey gives a subtle sweetness, but it is optional.
