Does anyone have a good recipe for sweet rolls?

Question

There is a restaurant I go to called Logans, and they serve the BEST sweet roles that I have ever tasted. I have tried to duplicate the recipe, but I can't get it right. Does anyone have a good recipe for these sweet yeast rolls?

Answer 1

Conchas Coiled Sweet Rolls

Ingredients

(12 servings)

3 1/2 c Flour (More If Necessary)
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 pk Dry Yeast
Butter Or Margarine Softened
2/3 c Very Warm Water
2 Eggs, Room Temperature
1/2 c Honey
3/4 c Chopped Almonds


Instructions

Mix 3/4 cup flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast in large bowl. Add softened butter. Gradually add water and beat 2 minutes on medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled. Punch dough down. Divide in halves. On lightly floured board, roll half of dough to 15- x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons softened butter. Fold in half. Roll out again to 15- x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons more butter. Fold in half and roll out to 18- x 6-inch rectangle. Cut dough lengthwise into 6 (1-inch) strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise so that it is 1/2-inch wide. Gently roll to round and lengthen each strip to rope 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Hold one end of each rope firmly and wind dough loosely around to form coil. Tuck end underneath. Place on greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled. Heat honey until thin. Gently brush rolls with half of honey and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 400°F 15 minutes or until browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Drizzle while hot with remaining honey.

Answer 2

1 1/2 cups milk (scalded)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope yeast
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder


First add the baking soda and sugar to the hot milk & then add the shortening to the milk mixture & cool.

Put the yeast into the warm water to dissolve.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder. When the milk is cool, add the yeast mixture to the milk, then mix with the flour. Cover with a towel; let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled.

Stir the batter well then beat vigorously for about 30 seconds.

Form into to rolls about 2 hours before baking.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

You can also fill greased muffin-pan cups about two-thirds full.

Prep time includes proofing time.
