Ingredients

Before getting hands-on with the dough, let’s gather the essential ingredients for these mouthwatering rolls:

• 2 cups warm water (110-115°F)
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 6 cups bread flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Now that we have our ingredients ready, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and start preparing these delightful rolls:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and then stir in the yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. After the yeast is activated, add oil, salt, and eggs to the mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, which usually takes about 6-8 minutes. Place the dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into golf ball-sized portions. Place them on a greased baking sheet, cover, and allow to rise for about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Brush the freshly baked rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
6. Finally, serve these warm, fluffy Lambert’s rolls and enjoy the delightful aroma and flavor!

FAQ

1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour if needed. However, keep in mind that the texture and rise of the rolls may slightly differ.

2. Can I make these rolls ahead of time and reheat them?

Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls in advance and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving. This allows you to enjoy freshly baked rolls with convenience.

3. Can I freeze the dough for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the dough after the first rise. Simply shape it into rolls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the rolls to a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer for up to a month. When ready to bake, allow the rolls to thaw and rise before baking as usual.
