If you too love Sister Shubert rolls like my family then this is the recipe for you! Buying them from the store can get pretty pricy, especially if you are taking rolls to a family gathering and need several dozen. This recipe requires basic ingredients you more than likely already have on hand and a little patience. These yeast rolls are perfect for any family gathering or holiday celebration.

Equipment

Stand mixer – (optional) If you don’t have a stand mixer you can use a mixing bowl, spoon, and knead the dough by hand.
Rolling pin
Measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Pizza cutter or knife
Parchment paper
Baking sheet

Ingredients

3½ – 3¾ cups All purpose flour
4 tablespoons Melted butter
1¼ cup Milk
1 tablespoon Yeast
⅓ cup Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 Egg
Butter – extra butter for brushing the rolls.

How to Make Copycat Sister Schubert’s Rolls

1. In a large mixing bowl combine the yeast and sugar.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat warm up the milk until it reaches around 110°F. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it is melted.

3. Pour the milk-butter mixture into the bowl of yeast and sugar and whisk the mixture together. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.

4. Add the egg and whisk until thoroughly combined in the yeast mixture.

5. Add the salt and flour mix on low for 1-2 minutes. (If you’re not using a stand mixer slowly stir continuously until a dough ball forms.

6. Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes or until a smooth ball forms on your dough hook. (If you’re not using a mixer transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes a smooth dough ball.

Roll dough before it has doubled in size.

7. Place the dough back into a mixing bowl if kneading by hand cover it with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for one hour or until it doubles in size.

8. Once risen, punch the dough down and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin roll out the dough into a rectangle shape that is about 1/2 an inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces.

9. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper leaving enough space between them to rise. While the oven preheats set the rolls in a warm area for 30 minutes or until the rolls have doubled in size.

10. Once doubles bake the rolls for 10 – 12 minutes.

11. (Optional) Brush the rolls with butter after they are finished baking.

Rolls after they have baked and been brushed with butter on a serving plater.

How To Freeze Rolls For Later

1. After the rolls are cut out place the rolls on a plate or baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Space them evenly so they are not touching.

2. Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to flash freeze. Remove them from the plate and place them into a freezer bag. I like to write the baking temp and how long they bake on the bag and then place the bag of rolls into the freezer to bake later.

How To Bake Frozen Rolls

1. Remove the rolls from the freezer and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly space the rolls so they have room to expand.

2. Place the rolls in a warm area for about an hour or until the rolls are thawed. Depending on the temperature of your house this may take longer.

3. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake for 10 -12 minutes or until the rolls are lightly golden brown.
