Lion House Rolls

My friend Amy is THEE Master of Rolls! Ever since I met her I've known how much she loves her cheese sandwiches on bread, and her subways, and her rolls. She's a great cook, and a master at roll making. I've tried three kinds of her rolls and LOVE every single one of them. So today, I will start with the Lion House Rolls! I've use this in my 5 quart bowl Kitchen Aid and it works great. And don't forget to serve them with this Honey Butter









1/3 Cup Warm Water
2 tblsp yeast
3/4 Cup Sugar
3 eggs
9 Cups flour -divided
1 tblsp salt
3 Cups milk


2 Squares of Margarine (YUCK on Margarine, but soooooooo worth it in this recipe!!!)


Put your yeast in water and set aside. In a seperate microwavable bowl combine your 3 cups of milk and margarine. Microwave for 3 minutes. In your Mixing Bowl combine your sugar, eggs, 6 cups flour, & salt. Once combined, add your bowl of heated milk and mix for a few more minutes then add your yeast and mix well. Add about 3- 3 1/2 Cups flour and knead for a few minutes (until dough starts to pull away from bowl but still soft and sticky) Let rise 1 hour.


Take Bread out and knead on a floured (or buttered) surface for a minute. Break dough in half, and roll each piece into a rectangle. Spread Margarine all over the dough (I've skipped this step and it tastes fine) and cut into strips of about 1 1/2 inch by 3 inches. Grab the short side with both hands and flip the dough around and tuck end piece on the bottom. Pictures above are supposed to help with this!


Bake at 375* for 18 minutes.
