heavy rolls

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
2 1/2 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups warm water
4 eggs
4 Tbsp yeast
13 cups flour


Mix water and yeast in large bowl. {This recipe fits in my larger KitchenAid bowl}... Add sugar to feed yeast. Melt butter. Add butter, salt, & eggs to yeast mixture. Add flour 3 cups at a time, mixing after each addition until blended. Turn into a greased extra large bowl. Grease the top and lightly cover with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place and let rise until doubled. Punch down and simply squeeze off blobs of dough, remembering that they're going to rise again. Place on a silpat-lined, or lightly greased cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush melted butter on rolls while they're still hot. Cool on wire rack. Store in a cool dry place.


One of our favorite things to do with these rolls is to make Chicken Malibu Sandwiches...
simply cut the roll in half. Place a chicken patty or breaded chicken, a couple thin slices of ham, and a slice of swiss cheese on the roll. You can add any condiments you choose. These sandwiches make a great lunch or dinner

The Best Rolls

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups warm milk
4 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
7 cups flour
1/4-1/2 cup butter (reserved)

Directions
1. These are really sticky and should be make in a kitchen aid mixer with the dough hook
2Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
3Add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
4Add flour and mix well.
5Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
6Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
7Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to"punch down" the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
8Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops"; The dough will be very sticky.
9Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the"plops"-- they will smooth out as they raise.
10Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
11Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
12Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden
