I’ve probably had 20 people message me about this, so here’s my bread recipe! I’m so happy to share! It’s the softest bread ever. This can be used for rolls, bread loaves, cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, you name it.

UPDATE: this is my personal post. I didn’t intend on this going viral. I found this recipe years ago and thought I’d pass along instead of it staying on a piece of notebook paper in my pantry  

This recipe makes 4 dozen rolls. Cut it in half if you don’t have a giant mixing bowl. Seriously. Lo
Ingredients
  • subheading: Yeast mixture:
  • 3 TBSP Active Yeast
  • 1 TBSP Sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (think baby bath water)*
  •  
  • note: the temp of the water is important. Too cold or too hot will kill the yeast. It needs to be the temperature you’d use for a newborn’s bath.
  •  
  • I measure this right into my 2 cup glass measuring cup and add the (1 cup) warm water. When the mixture bubbles/foams up to the top of the two cup mark it’s ready!
  •  
  • 9 to 10 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ Cup sugar
  • 1 TBSP salt
  • Yeast mixture
  • 3 cups warm water
  • ½ cup oil
Steps
  1. Mix everything together and knead until dough is soft. It will be tacky, but not stick to your fingers. Add more flour if it’s too sticky.
  2. Put in a greased bowl and cover with a towel for 1 hr (I place it on my stovetop)
  3. Punch it down after it’s risen and give a quick knead.
  4. Grease bottom of baking tray(s) (I use crisco shortening) and make 48 rolls.
  5. Cover the rolls and let rise again for 1 hour.
  6. When they are ready to go in your oven, put softened butter on the tops of each and a little sea salt.
  7. Bake at 375° for 20 to 30 min.
  8. *note: I have halved this recipe and it has turned out just fine!
  9. FOR CINNAMON ROLLS: let the dough rise as normal then cut it into two or four equal portions. Roll one out and spread softened butter to the edges, sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar, then roll up. Cut, place in a pan, and let rise for 1 hour before baking. I use cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk for the icing.
