Lambert's Cafe Throwed Rolls
Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, Missouri, is known for throwing hot rolls to their customers. I believe they have one more location in Missouri also.
Yield: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 package dry active yeast
- 1/4 cup tepid water (105 to 110 degrees F)
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, beaten ( at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
Instructions
- Combine the 1 teaspoon of sugar and yeast in tepid water. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until yeast begins to foam.
- Thoroughly mix milk, butter, sugar, egg and salt in large bowl.
- Stir in the yeast mixture and 3 1/2 cups of the flour, adding a bit more if necessary to make a soft pliable dough. Turn dough out on floured board and let rest while you clean and butter bowl. Knead dough gently, 4 to 5 minutes, adding flour if necessary, until dough is smooth and silky.
- Return to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled in size.
- Butter a 12 cup muffin tin.
- Punch down dough. Pinch off pieces about 1 1/2 inches in diameter ( enough to fill 1/2 of muffin cup), and roll into smooth spheres. Place two such pieces in each prepared muffin cup. ( It should be a tight fit). Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap for 45 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
- Serve as soon as they are cool enough to throw.
