Instructions
 

  • For best results, all ingredients and utensils should be at room temperature.
  • Dissolve dry yeast in warm water. Set yeast water aside for step 5.
  • Pour flour, sugar, and salt in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a dough hook attachment, mix on medium–low speed. DO NOT OVERMIX.
    For 50 servings, mix for 1 minute.
    For 100 servings, mix for 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and oil.
  • Slowly add yeast water. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on medium-low speed until flour is completely blended. DO NOT OVERMIX.
    For 50 servings, mix for 3 minutes.
    For 100 servings, mix for 6 minutes.
  • Place 1 qt (about 2 lb 5 oz) dough on a steam table pan (12′′ x 20′′ x 2½′′) heavily coated with pan release spray. Cover each pan with a towel. Place in a warm area for 1 hour and 30 minutes to allow dough to rise.
    For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
    For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
  • Punch dough to remove air bubbles. Cover each pan with a towel. Place in a warm area for 1 hour and 30 minutes to allow dough to rise for a second time.
  • Heavily coat muffin pans with pan-release spray. Using a No. 30 scoop, portion 2 Tbsp (about 1 oz) dough into each muffin cup.
    For 50 servings, fill 50 muffin cups.
    For 100 servings, fill 100 muffin cups.
  • Cover each pan with a towel. Place in a warm area for at least 1 hour to allow dough to rise for a third time.
  • Bake until golden brown:
    Conventional oven: 350 °F for 15 minutes.
    Convection oven: 325 °F for 12 minutes.
  • Serve 1 roll.
