90 Minute Rolls

4-5 cups flour
3 TB sugar
1 tsp salt
2 pkg yeast ( 1 pkg = 2 1/4 tsp)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter

1. Combine 3 1/2 cups flour, sugar and salt in mixer bowl.
2. In another bowl dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
3. Combine milk and butter, warm to 120 degrees. Add milk & butter mixture to yeast.
4. Gradually add liquid mixture to flour mixture in mixer bowl 1/2 cup at a time. Then add remaining 1/2 - 1 1/2 cups of flour as needed.
5. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth & elastic.
6. Put in greased bowl and grease top, then cover with warm, damp towel. Place bowl in a sink of warm water and let rise 15 minutes.
7. Punch down & shape dough into 24 rolls (about the size of a golf ball), place in a greased 9x13 pan, cover and let rise in 90 degree oven 15 minutes until double.
8. Bake 12 minutes at 425. Turn out onto cooling rack after removing from oven.

What I do: I use about 1 1/2 cups wheat flour and the rest white. I have never actually made these in 90 minutes. I can't set my oven to 90 degrees, so they just rise on the counter and that takes more than 15 minutes to get them to double, depending on how warm the kitchen is.

Source: this is the recipe my mom always used. I'm not sure where she got it.

The recipe is supposed to be 60 minute rolls but I changed it to 90 minutes because I could never get it done in 60. I got this recipe from my friend, Carol Curtis, many years ago.
