Lion House Rolls are soft, pillowy dinner rolls enriched with milk, butter, and a hint of sweetness that bake to a golden brown crust. Their tender crumb and buttery flavor make them an ideal companion for soups, stews, or holiday feasts. Easy to prepare ahead, these rolls deliver bakery-quality results in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
0.25 cups butter
1 packet active dry yeast
0.25 cups granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg

Steps

  1. Warm milk and butter until about 110 F.

  2. Stir in yeast and sugar; let activate until foamy, about 10 minutes.

  3. Mix flour, salt, and egg in a large bowl; add yeast mixture and stir into a soft dough.

  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.

  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 60 minutes.

  6. Punch down dough, divide into 12 portions, shape into balls, and arrange in a greased 9×13 pan; let rise 20 minutes.
