Lion House Rolls

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These are the rolls I made my hubby for Father’s Day on Sunday.  They were humongous and we all couldn’t believe how big they were.  I’ve been using this recipe for years and I usually make 40 rolls but decided to make big ones just like the Lion House Restaurant does in Salt Lake City.  There is something just so great about having a big, buttery roll taking up a third of your plate…..

Lion House Rolls

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

2 C warm water


2/3 C nonfat dry milk


2 Tb yeast


1/4 C sugar


2 tsp salt


1/3 C butter, melted


1 egg


5 – 5 1/2 C flour

Instructions

1.  In your mixer with whisk attachment, combine water and milk powder until milk dissolves.  Add yeast, sugar, butter, egg and 2 C of flour.  Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Switch to dough hook and add 2 more cups of flour and salt.  Mix for 2 minutes then add enough of remaining flour to achieve a soft, but not overly sticky dough.  It will be much softer than a bread dough.
2.  Cover and allow dough to rise until double, about one hour.  Turn dough onto floured surface and divide into desired number of rolls.  Using your hand in a cupping shape, rolls dough into tight balls and place on a greased sheet pan (for giant rolls, five rows of three or for normal, 8 rows of five).  Cover and allow rolls to rise until double in size.  Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes.  Brush top of rolls with melted butter when they are finished baking.

    I made these rolls today to make pepperoni balls for my husband’s border patrol station! They were the best I’ve ever made!! THANKS for sharing your recipe! 🙂 PS to make pepperoni balls you simply stuff dinner rolls with pepperoni, cheese, both or either! LOL!

    You can but you will need to bring it to a full boil first then let it cool until it is just warm. The powdered milk is just easier than that extra step 🙂

    I grind my own wheat. Can I use hard white wheat or do I need to use soft white wheat (or some of each)?

      Jan- I’m not really sure. I would use whichever you find the most successful in a softer, more tender dough. Let me know how it goes!

    How much flour do you use?

      Between 5 and 5 1/2 cups of flour. It depends each time I make them because of the weather and the moisture content of the flour. You want a very soft dough that isn’t super sticky. -carole

    Does this call for instant yeast or active dry yeast

      Hi Barbara. I use active dry yeast.

    Do you use all purpose flour or bread flour?

      Hi Jeanie! I use all purpose flour because these are a really soft, tender roll and a higher gluten flour will result in a chewy texture.
