What are Lion House Rolls?

Homemade Rolls Ingredients

The base of these rolls are milk and butter to yield delicious, soft, buttery rolls.

Milk: used in the dough and also a little bit in the egg wash. Whole milk is preferred but you can use 2% milk. Butter: unsalted butter is used in the dough and salted butter can be used to brush the rolls after baking for more flavor. Granulated sugar: to feed the yeast and also for added sweetness in the dough. If you prefer your dinner rolls saltier, you can reduce the amount of sugar. Active dry yeast: to help the bread dough rise. You could also use the same amount of instant yeast. Water: used to activate yeast. Salt: for flavor. Flour: all purpose flour is fine in this recipe.

Preparing the Dough

Shaping the Rolls

Instead of dividing the dough into balls, these Lion House Rolls are known for their distinct spiral shape, which is not difficult at all to recreate.
