Sour Cream Yeast Rolls (I made this dough for
Cinnamon Rolls)
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 c. all purpose flour ( used half UN bleached flour and half whole wheat flour)
2 T. sugar (I increased this to about 1/4-1/2 cup)
1/4 oz. yeast (or 1 package rapid rise yeast= 2 1/4 T. jar yeast)
1 t.salt
1 c. sour cream
1/4 c. water
3 T. butter
1 egg
(Use more or less of the following ingredients according to personal taste)
1/2 stick butter, softened (for spreading on dough)
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. cinnamon
Chopped nuts **optional**
In small bowl add yeast, 1 T. warm water and 1 T. sugar. Stir with handle of wooden spoon. Let proof about 5 minutes until yeast is bubbly and sweet smelling.
In food processor with dough hook attached, add 1 1/2 c. flour, sugar, salt. Pulse. In small saucepan, add sour cream, water and butter. Heat on medium low to about 120-130 degrees. Warm but not too hot. Add milk mix to flour in food processor. Pulse. Add egg to this mix. Pulse. Add flour 1/2 c. at a time until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn out to floured surface and knead until mix is smooth and elastic but not too wet. Add dough to greased bowl and let rise in warm place until double in size, about an hour or more. (I use a warm oven for proofing) Punch down and return to floured surface. Knead until dough just comes together. Split dough in half. Work with 1/2 at a time. Roll dough out on floured surface until about 1/4 " thick and rectangle shaped. Spread 1/4 stick of reserved butter. Spread with 1/2 cinnamon sugar mix. Roll dough jelly roll style. Using sharp kitchen knife slice roll in 1 " sections. Place sections in greased 9 x13 baking pan 12 rolls to a pan. (You may need another greased pan) Cover with plastic wrap. Repeat same process with remaining dough, butter and cinnamon sugar. Cut this log into 1 " pieces as well and place into another greased 9x13 pan. (You may need another greased pan) Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until double in size in warm place (1-2 hours) Bake 350 degrees about 15-20 minutes until rolls are golden on top but not overdone.
((Can be served in 9x13 dish with frosting on top or invert 9x13 pan to serving dish when taking from oven to serve upside down with frosting on the side)
Frosting
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 stick butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
Cream all ingredients with mixer until light and fluffy. Serve frosting on the side or spread on HOT rolls. This recipe may be doubled for extra rolls. ( I just barely had enough for 2 -9x13 pans and the guys wanted lots of frosting on them for next time)
