I received this recipe from an email pen pal in Canada. The dough is so easy to work with, and it makes the lightest yeast rolls. I haven't used another white bread recipe since I started making this one. -Carrie Ormsby, West Jordan, Utah

Ingredients

  • 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and baking powder. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water and butter to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 23x9-in. rectangle. Cut into 1-1/2-in. strips. Stack 5 strips together; cut into 1-1/2-in. pieces and place cut side up in a greased muffin cup. Repeat with remaining strips. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
