Golden Corral Rolls Recipe – Copycat
This is a recipe for golden corral rolls, which are flaky and buttery. Golden Corral is known for its rolls, so I decided to create a copycat version of them at home. If you’re a fan of Golden Corral’s rolls, then this is the recipe for you. It tastes just like it and will be ready to eat in only 3 Hours. You can customize your dough by adding garlic or thyme for a little extra zing.
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour sifted
- 1/4 cup Water very warm
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Scalding hot milk
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 package Active Dry Yeast
- 2 tbsp Butter melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix yeast with very warm water. Mix until yeast dissolves.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine, sugar and salt in hot milk until the sugar dissolves. Let mixture cool to 105 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix milk mixture with yeast, then adds the egg. Stir in 4 cups of flour at a time, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. The remaining 1/2 cup of flour can be used to dust a pastry cloth.
- For 5 minutes, lightly knead the dough. Transfer the dough into a bowl coated with butter.
- Place the dough in a warm place and let it rise for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. On a lightly floured pastry cloth, punch the dough down and knead it for 4 to 5 minutes.
- If the dough is sticky, use as little flour as possible for flouring your hands and the pastry cloth, otherwise, the rolls will not be as light as they should be.
- Make small rolls from the dough, measuring 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Arrange neatly in a well-buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan, not quite touching.
- Allow rolls to rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes until they are doubled in size. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or margarine, then bake until nicely browned at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and Serve warm with plenty of butter.
