No Rise Rolls

My sister brought me this recipe after having these rolls at the Conestoga Steak House in Dothan, AL.  They are a yeast roll that doesn’t have to rise and they’re a snap to mix up and to bake.

1 package yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

2 cups warm water

4 cups self-rising flour

1/4 cup sugar

1  1/2 sticks melted butter

Add yeast to water and let it bloom. Maybe I was having a slow day in the kitchen.  But I stood over the bowl and watched it after I put the yeast in the water.  Now I’ve “bloomed” plenty of yeast.  But I’ve never watched the whole process.  First, a few bubbles appear.  Then a few more.   Then, the whole thing takes off like it’s a mole digging underground.  It’s the coolest thing.  Glad I watched it.

Add remaining ingredient to the bowl, after the yeast has bloomed, adding fllour last.  Mix and pour into greased muffin tins.  I made 20 rolls out of this batch.

This doesn’t make a light and airy yeast roll.  It’s a little bit denser but has a great taste.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  Pass the butter.
