Can You Make Rolls From No Knead Dough

What could be better than homemade bread? Homemade bread that requires no kneading like these Easy No Knead Yeast Rolls.These from-scratch rolls smell simply heavenly while baking and taste like a bite of heaven when served warm slathered with butter. Once you master these yeast rolls and you may never buy rolls again.

Easy No Knead Yeast Rolls

The no knead bread craze reached a frenzy a few years ago. I never really bought into the idea because by kneading the dough you're actually developing the gluten in the flour which is a very important step in basic bread making. But, as I looked more closely at some of the bread recipes out there from Martha Stewart and beyond, my curiosity was peaked, and I wondered if it would really work. So, these no knead yeast rolls are my own version after reading through a multitude of recipes available on this subject.

No Knead Bread Does Work

After working on  this recipe, I discovered that it truly is easy, and requires no special equipment at all. After developing these rolls and making them for my boys I can say, I'm a "no knead bread" believer now, and these are family tested and approved perfect for any special occasion. They can also be prepared in advance and baked just before serving for a time saver. No stress bread gets a five star rating from me.

Tips and Pointers

• If you use hot water or milk, it will kill the yeast and the bread won't rise. So, make sure the water is lukewarm, not boiling.
• A large non-stick silicone spatula incorporates the flour into the wet ingredients more easily.
• Using an ice cream scoop helps maintain conformity in size and facilitates even baking.
• These rolls can be prepared the night before and chilled. After forming into rolls, cover and chill. Allow to rise on the counter for 1 hour prior to baking.

Calories: 129 kcal

• 2 (¼ oz each) packets rapid rise yeast [i.e. Fleischmann's or similar] (Two ¼ oz packets)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar plus 1 tsp
• 1 ⅓ cup milk (may use water)
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• 8 Tbsp butter divided

• In a large measuring cup, dissolve both packets of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1 ⅓ cup of lukewarm water. If you use hot water or milk, it will kill the yeast and the bread won't rise. So, make sure the water is lukewarm not boiling.

• Let the yeast mixture sit on the counter for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to "bloom." You'll see bubbles and froth begin to gather on the top.

• In a medium size mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the egg.

• After the yeast has developed, gradually add to the dry ingredients in the bowl, along with 5 tablespoons of melted butter.

• Begin to blend the ingredients together, using a large spoon incorporating more liquid as you go. I used a silicone spatula, and the dough didn't stick to it, making this task a lot easier.

• After incorporating all of the flour place into a buttered bowl, and cover with a damp cloth.

• Allow the dough to sit in a warm, draft free place, covered for 1 hour to double.

• Punch down the dough. Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop, lightly sprayed with cooking spray, to separate the dough into even portions after punching it down to release the air bubbles.

• Roll into a ball in your hands then arrange side by side, in a buttered non-stick metal baking pan. I used a 10-inch spring form pan.

• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops. Reserve some of the melted butter to brush on the tops after the rolls come out of the oven, too.

• Cover with a damp cloth and allow the rolls to rise again until doubled, about one hour.

• Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-22 minutes. Serve immediately.

To make the rolls in advance:

After forming the dough into rolls, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray and refrigerate overnight, if desired.   Uncover, brush with melted butter just before baking at 400°F for 20-22 minutes until golden.  The rolls will continue to slowly rise even in the refrigerator.
