FDP Cookbook : Side Dishes : Buttery Pan-Style Yeast Rolls
(submitted by IndyStratLuvr )

Ingredients

2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110f)
4 & 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
10 tablespoons melted butter or margarine (butter gets my vote)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup warm milk (110f)
(2) 9 inch round cake pans (Do NOT use non-stick bakeware)
(heavy duty mixer helps)

Directions

In a large bowl dissolve yeast & a pinch of sugar in water for 5 minutes or until it starts to bubble. Stir together 2 cups of flour, the sugar and salt. Add 6 tbsp of the melted butter, the yeast mixture, egg & warm milk. Beat for about 5 minutes and you'll see the gluten start to develop. It will develop "strands" when it does. Gradually beat in the remaning 2&1/2 cups of flour either with a mixer or by hand. Cover and let rise until doubled (45 minutes). Put 1 tbsp of butter in each pan and coat the sides. Spoon dough into the cake pans and drizzle remaining butter over the rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm (not hot) place for 30 minutes or until doubled. Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 12-17 minutes or until golden brown. When the bottoms are brown they are done. Serve immediately.
