The Best Yeast Rolls EVER

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup powdered milk
  • ½ cup butter
Directions: Combine warm water (108 degrees), sugar, and yeast. Set aside to proof. In a bowl, sift together 1 cup flour, dry milk, salt, and baking powder.
In a mixer bowl, cut butter and flour mixture (above) together, scraping to make sure all ingredients are blended. Add yeast mixture and mix thoroughly. Add remaining flour, a little at a time, and mix until dough forms a sticky ball. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead 15 to 20 times until dough is elastic. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness, cut with cutter, and place on a lightly greased pan. Brush tops with melted butter and let rise about 40 minutes. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and brush tops with more melted butter. (Serves 8)
