Now that we’re drooling over these rolls, let’s talk ingredients. If you’re thinking about making your house smell like a bakery and your taste buds do a little happy dance, here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups warm milk (about 110°F)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
Now that we’ve gathered our magical ingredients, let’s roll up our sleeves and get down to business!
Instructions to Craft Your Cloverleaf Rolls
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy and looking lively.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.
- Mix until combined, then add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, until a sticky dough forms. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – roll with it!
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or with a mixer – whichever way tickles your fancy.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Use this time to meditate on how amazing those rolls will taste!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen like a champ, punch it down and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into three balls and arrange them in a greased muffin tin for that iconic cloverleaf shape.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Don’t rush this part – good things come to those who wait!
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and make your kitchen smell like heaven!
- Once baked, brush the tops with a bit of melted butter, let them cool slightly, and then dive in!
And there you have it! Your very own batch of Cloverleaf Rolls that are sure to steal the spotlight at dinner. Serve them up warm and watch your friends and family line up for more. Happy baking!
