Overnight Refrigerator Rolls
These rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any meal. With minimal effort, you can have freshly baked bread ready for breakfast or dinner. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your delicious overnight rolls:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix them together to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, water, and melted butter until warm (the mixture should feel warm to the touch but not boiling).
- Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, then add the egg. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Gradually add in the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. You may not need all of the flour, or you may need a little extra.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
- When you’re ready to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape it into rolls. Place them in a greased pan, cover, and let them rise at room temperature until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
These Overnight Refrigerator Rolls are an excellent addition to any breakfast or dinner. Soft and buttery, they pair wonderfully with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy the delightful experience of baking, and share these rolls with your loved ones—they’re sure to appreciate the effort!
