Great-Grandmother’s Cloverleaf Rolls ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adapted from Judith M. Fertig’s Prairie Home Breads. Makes 1 dozen rolls 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup milk 1 (1/4-ounce) package or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm (about 100 to 110 degrees) water 1 large egg, beaten 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1. Put the butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Heat the milk and pour it over the butter mixture and let it cool to lukewarm (about 90 degrees). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl and set aside to proof until foamy, about 5 minutes. 2. When the yeast has dissolved, stir it into the butter mixture. Mix in the egg. Then mix in the flour until you have a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake (up to 2 days). 3. Two hours before baking, divide the dough in half. Divide each half into 6 equal portions. Divide each portion into three pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, dip into the melted butter, and place in a muffin tin, three balls to a muffin cup. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. 4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes, or until risen and browned. Enjoy!
