Equipment
- 13x18 baking sheet or 2 9x13 baking dishes
Ingredients
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast or 2 packages
- ½ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup oil any neutral tasting oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar or honey
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 ½ cups water warm
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 7-8 cups all-purpose flour
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- For the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the active dry yeast, warm water, melted butter, oil, sugar, salt, and beaten eggs until combined.
- Add the flour to the bowl, starting with 7 cups, and stir with a sturdy spoon or dough whisk until a soft dough forms and no dry pockets of flour remain. Add the remaining flour if the dough remains sticky. Stir until fully combined and just tacky.
- Lightly coat the top of the dough with a splash of oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it on a middle shelf in your refrigerator overnight (up to 14 hours). You'll want to make sure you are using a large bowl. The dough will rise considerably overnight.
- In the morning: Line a 13x18-inch half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Turn the puffy, chilled dough out onto a clean work surface. Use a digital scale to weigh out 3-ounce portions, then roll each piece into a smooth ball using a cupped hand.
- Arrange the rolls evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot just until puffy (about 1 to 1 ½ hours). Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash, then gently brush the tops of the rolls. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until deep golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately out of the oven if desired. Enjoy!
